I bought this as a Christmas gift. I left it in the little bag it came in until the recipient opened it... and the chain broke immediately upon taking it out of the bag. One of the ends came right off and could not be re-attached. I mainly wanted this item for the pendant, as I knew the recipient had other, better quality chains of her own that she could choose from, so it wasn't too upsetting, but still the chain didn't even last an hour. The pendant itself is a good weight and size (small, but I'm not a fan of huge pendants) with a nice sized loop on the top to slip it onto a bigger chain if you so choose. Overall, I'm pleased with the pendant but the chain is junk.
