Today, Wednesday, April 17, 2013, I received this lovely 16 inch Stainless Steel Chain. As per my Dermatologist I can only wear Stainless Steel or 14K Gold Jewelry. This chain is just absolutely great. It is not thin, but has enough weight to hold that special pendant. Better yet, you can wear it just as is. I was absolutely surprised of the beauty. I may order another one and or the twenty inch as well. I was not at all disappointed and I am quite sure you will not as well. Thank you for great quality. This means a lot to a returning customer.
