I bought this diamond-cut rope sterling silver chain to replace a chain I had that wasn't sterling silver and tarnished over the years and couldn't be brought back to the sparkly chain that it once was. I bought the 24" which is the perfect length for what I want to wear it with. I like that it's sparkly and I like the weight that it is, not too heavy and not too light. The clasp is the perfect size also for this chain. It's everything that I wanted but couldn't find for the price I paid at Amazon.com
