My reason for wanting this necklace is kind of unique. I am a tracheostomy patient and wanted a chain for my stainless steel trach that I could count on NOT breaking. I tried other chains but the clasps were too big to thread through the trach slots. I bought a 30" chain so I could thread it and wrap it around securing it in back. This chain looks very delicate but because it's stainless it's also very strong. Just what I needed..........
