My wife and I purchased this same chain last year for a cross we gave to our oldest son on his confirmation. Now we bought one for our other son to wear with his cross. These chains are beautiful, durable (enough for teenage boys) and hold a brilliant shine. The product is well worth the cost (a low cost I might add) and service is excellent. GEM AVENUE offers great prices, quick delivery and outstanding values.

Well made and very fluid. It has a really nice lobster claw clasp attached very securely. Lots of sparkle and shine. Ir looks classy. Thanks, Gem Ave., it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to all the other Amazon reviewers of this piece. I read them all before ordering. UPDATE: I purchase two of these chains. I've had them for quite a while and I wear them often. They still look like the day I bought them. The have never tarnished...not even a little bit.

I got this to go on a pendant, for the price this is a very good chain, way better than you can buy out of any store for the price.

The chain was purchased to replace a white gold chain that had stretched and broken. The chain was shipped quickly and appears as pictured. However, the chain caused a metal allergy severe enough that it can't be worn any longer. The recipient has several other solid silver chains which cause no problems at all; she also has a confirmed metal sensitivity to nickel. I'm not saying the chain is not silver (just suggesting) but there does seem to be something fishy when other solid silver chains cause no problems and this chain causes allergic reactions. The chain was cheap enough that I won't be returning it (return shipping would be too great a percentage of original purchase price) but I will be looking to buy a replacement chain from elsewhere and re-gifting this one.

WARNING: This is a video of an allergic reaction I had to the 16" snake chain necklace sold by GEM AVENUE and it maybe disturbing to squeamish people.

The resolution is low which is probably a good thing because a more detailed visual of this rash would be disgusting.

I wore the necklace to the gym, to shower, and to sleep for 2 days/nights in a row, so I obviously sweated on it. I woke up on the third day with this rash, it's less red in the video than in person. What's most disturbing about the rash is the patch of black skin towards the back of my neck. I've knowingly worn non-precious metal necklaces before and developed a similar rash with black patches of skin where the necklace touches skin.

I don't understand how I could have gotten this rash unless the necklace is only partially made of sterling silver with some other non-precious metal if any silver at all. I've never had an allergic reaction like this to precious metals, i.e. gold, platinum, silver, and surgical steel, even while wearing them an entire month in a row (to the gym, beach, shower, sleep, etc.).

If you are like me and are allergic to non precious metals, you might have the same reaction...but I hope you don't!

I ordered one for myself and one for my mother-in-law, and we were both very happy. The diamond cut makes it very sparkly and pretty. And it seems to be a nice-quality chain.

I purchased two chains for my 2 granddaughters. I was very disappointed with the chains when they arrived. They were very tarnished, and I had to polish them before they were useable. I was also disappointed because the texture of the chains was quite rough. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Ordering jewelry online is always challenging as sometimes what you see is not always what you get. however here I am pleasantly surprised. The chain is just great, elegant and pleasing to the eye.

I purchased two of these chains and the value was great, far better than any store I looked at. Not only was the value great, the chain itself seems to be of very good quality. It was a win win situation all around. I didn't have to pay a lot of money and the chain looks great and was delivered to my door. Perfect!

I bought this chain for a pendant I made for my girlfriend. The clasp came apart from the jump ring the first night. Also, her hair keeps getting stuck in the links. This is a snake chain which should be very tightly linked. Altogether I found this to be pretty and shiny, but rather thin and flimsy, and the clasp is so tiny that it is hard for anyone to use unless they have very nimble fingers. I went to a local department store and purchased another one that was higher quality for the same price as this one. I will use this at another time after fixing it, because I don't want to pay return shipping.
