I like the feel of the cord instead of a chain on my neck. I bought the small size so that I could use it as a choker, and over many months, it has stretched a little, so that it's slightly more loose than it used to be. Not dramatically so, but enough to notice. The weight of the clasp is more than the rest of the necklace, so the clasp likes to spin around to the front. That's not enough to keep me from wearing it all the time though (2-3 times a week). I would buy from here again.
