I purchased this for my husband and he absolutely loves it.  The link is thick and the chain itself has a square shape, it is a very distinctive and very expensive looking necklace. The 22 inch length sits well on his 6ft, 210 lb frame, not too close to the neck and not too low on the chest.  He has worn it every day for nearly 7months (sleeping, showering, swimming, etc) and the chain has held up with no problems.  I would highly recommend this!
