I really wanted to love this necklace. Unfortunately, I have a large neck. I did not think about the fact that since the necklace is thicker (I received the 6.0mm 18" necklace) that it would be tighter on me. I can not comfortably wear this necklace. Luckily, my sister-in-law can. I gave this necklace to her and she adores it. I am still giving the necklace 5 stars because it is really well made and gorgeous. It also has a lot of possibilities. You can add charms to it, or wear it on it's own. My Sister-in-law has been wearing it for 2 weeks now and has received numerous compliments. This is a great necklace for the right person. I recommend ordering it longer than what you typically would for a great fit.
