I bought this as a Christams gift for my wife & I truly regret it. It's not even the same cross shown in the description photo. The cross I received had multiple scallops on the face of the cross & the one shown was smooth. The chain is not much thicker than a couple of strands of hair. What really angered me is the chain was in wrapped & interlaced along both lengths of the cross. I have big fingers and it is almost impossible for me to untie the chain. I was able to undo some, but most of it is a mess. I'm almost ashamed to give it to my wife, but I will, maybe she can untangle this mess. Of course, it's not made in the U.S., but it was labeled with paper stating it was made in the Domincan Republic. I know, you get what you pay for, but I was running short of money because I had to replace my roof in October & replace my fridge in November. My VA check only goes so far. I say buyer beware!
