I purchased this chain for a particular pendant.  It is a large silver oval with a scroll design that gives it sort of an antique-y look, and I didn't think it would look right with a very bright, shiny silver chain.  Therefore, when I saw that this chain was described as having an "antique finish," it seemed perfect.  I also liked the larger size (just under 2mm) to go with my larger chain.  Finally, the price was right:  ALL sizes of this chain (with the exception of the very largest 30") are available for under ten dollars each.

When this chain arrived, I was thrilled!  It was exactly what I wanted:  the chain was the right thickness, and it is exactly the right amount of shine while still having a more antique-y look.  It also seems very well made; the lobster claw clasp is certainly a plus, especially at this price.  And just as I'd hoped, the chain matches perfectly with my pendant.  I couldn't be more pleased--highly recommended!
