Okay - to the folks who said the pendant was larger than they expected... don't rely on the picture alone.  The specs are RIGHT THERE in the ad.  I say this as someone who did just exactly that and was also surprised - but not disappointed - in the size.

That being said... I love this necklace!  Just got it for my birthday.  The chain, although thin, is more than enough to hold the pendant as the pendant itself is very light - and I feel a thicker chain would probably detract from the delicate nature of the pendant.  Folks looking for more stability without destroying the aesthetic might want to consider a thin box chain instead of the curb chain; I, however, love the chain and will not be changing it.

This necklace will quickly become a favorite of mine - I can tell.  :)
