This is a beautiful chain, thick and not gaudy.  I've had it for over a year.  The only problem I've had is that bails need to be made the right size and shape to take the chain.  Silver Insanity makes very nice pieces that fit this chain, and so do Mineral Miners.  The bail needs to be the right shape (not a big silver circle) in order to lie properly.  Also, the bail does not look huge when it is made right.  I got a moonstone pendant from Silver Insanity that fits this chain perfectly, and it is a great example of a bail done right.  Doesn't look big at all, but obviously is big enough.  The chain looks fabulous with a beautiful pendant on it, and magnifies the beauty.
