This is perfect for what I wanted.  I bought a beautiful new cross/necklace, but the chain was too long.  I wasn't sure at this price, what I'd be getting.  My pendent is expensive & I didn't want a cheap looking chain.  To my surprise, this chain looks exquisite. It looks even more expensive than the one I'm replacing (which was costly).  It literally shines and truly makes my diamond cross look even more outstanding.  I haven't had it long enough to know if it will began to fade or tarnish.  But at this price, I'll just get another one if it does.  However, I doubt it will because it's as nice as any fine chain I own.
