Beautiful and delicate were the first words that came to mind when I saw this necklace. It was tangled, but unlike some necklaces, it was easily untangled.  It came in a cotton-lined box with a bright metallic snakeskin pattern.  The necklace itself can either stand alone or can be used as a pendant chain.  I received the 22" necklace, one that can easily sell for twice the price, making this one a bargain.  I have several sterling necklaces, but this one is one of the prettier ones.  It has a lobster claw clasp for safety and is marked .925 Italy on the chain just before the nickel-free clasp.

Choosing the proper necklace length:

~  16" - choker or child's length

~  18" -  at the collarbone

~  20" -  a few inches below the collarbone

~  22" -  at or above the neckline

~  30"  -  hangs just below the breastline

Before you order, I'd measure a necklace you already have or cut a strand of yarn or string.  This necklace is multifaceted and can be used both for casual or dress wear, depending on what you choose to add for a pendant.  I have a couple of sterling chains that have open weave links and they are overly delicate and I won't wear a pendant with them.  This necklace weave is strong and I won't worry about adding a pendant.  This sterling necklace is both beautiful and functional.
