I bought this chain to hold my work I.D., keys, and flash drive.  I wanted it to be long enough not to bang again my chest or my belt, and this length is perfect.  The chain is a very fine gauge, and that makes it look more expensive than it is.  The combination of gold and silver makes it catch the light.  The first time I wore it the department chair noticed it from across the room and said, "Where did you get that chain?"  It's way better than I expected.
