This solid Italian chain is great for both men who needs substantial but not chunky and women who wants a longer and stronger chain for a large pendant. It has a subtly sparking diamond cut surface and a nice weight of ~5.5 grams compared to a typical pendant chain of ~1 gram. The clasp is a sturdy lobster clasp. Our CAREFREE sterling silver is plated with quality Rhodium, the most tarnish resistant and most expensive member of the Platinum metals group. It virtually eliminates the need for frequent cleaning and polishing; increases surface hardness against incidental scratching and abrasion; and adds an expensive platinum look. A quality silky brocade pouch is included as nice gift presentation. ***Also available in 20 inch (Item B000H0Q70A) and 24 inch (Item B0011FK08A) versions.***
