Very nice chain, and beautiful! I strongly suggest that when buying a large-link chain such as this, that you get a much longer length than you think you need because the large size of the links make it much shorter overall when wearing. Overall, a very beautiful chain and I am very happy with it. Although if you want to attach a pendant, good luck trying to find a large bale. You will probably have to put a small bale between the chain's links to attach a pendant or have a bale custom made.Update: I nearly lost the expensive pendant referenced above when the silver jump ring that connects the two pieces of the clasp came apart and the chain separated. Luckily I was able to recover it. Looking at the jump ring it was only press-fitted together and not SOLDERED closed. This is a design/manufacturing defect and needs to be corrected. A chain this heavy and expensive being secured by only a simple press-fitted jump ring is unacceptable-it will surely come apart under the stresses of daily wear and makes it a not-so-durable item. My only recourse is to take the chain to a qualified jeweler to have them SOLDER the silver jump ring closed, which should have been done by the manufacturer with a chain this large. I have contacted The Bling Factory to report this defect and will update this review again when I receive their response.2nd Update: After contacting The Bling Factory about the non-soldered jump ring connector, and some additional manufacturer's issues with this heavy chain, I was offered the choice of returning the chain for a new one that the manufacturer HAD begun soldering the jump ring closed or having a local jeweler do the work and The Bling Factory would reimburse me. I chose the local jeweler route because there was a several week wait time for a new chain. TBF's customer service issued a partial refund to cover both the cost of having the jump ring soldered plus some additional funds to also cover the repair of some of the other issues.This is great customer service in an era where there is almost no customer service anymore. I would continue to buy from this merchant knowing that if I had a problem with any one of their products they would stand fully behind it. I am happy with my purchase and happy with The Bling Factory's customer service!
