Let me start by saying this product arrived a month before it was supposed to which is awesome. Ok now onto the chain, 5mm is thicker than I expected but I like it, it looks masculine. It shines like .925 silver and has a decent amount of weight. The only thing that I feel a little skeptical about is the clasps. They feel a little bit too light. Other than that....so far so good. Oh another plus they gave me a free chain just for purchasing from them.
