I was unsure about purchasing jewelry online - even thru Amazon. But this gold chain was exactly what I wanted! It's beautiful and fit my pendant perfectly. The quality was wonderful and the Figaro style catches a lot of light.

I very proudly wear a claddagh cross. I accidentally broke the chain it was on and had to find another. I am really pleased with this purchase. It compliments my cross nicely. I ordered on Friday and it was delivered Monday.
Thank You!

Amazon's product page clearly states the necklace is 1.6 mm in width (much like an uncooked spaghetti noodle)and 2.3 gram weight. This is obviously too delicate for a man's gold chain, yet nice for a woman. At under 2 mm width, most pendants will work.

I have a long, troubled history with gold chains. Everything from thin box chains to more substantial rope chains have broken on me. Herringbone gold chains of any width have kinked irrepairably. I've even had problems with gold Singapore or snake chains, knotting, kinking or breaking on me. Because of this, I have quite a number of sterling silver chains, yet very few gold ones.

Some jeweler friends have recommended Figaro, Mariner or Cuban link gold chains as being durable for regular wear, but those chains are usually quite a bit thicker-even masculine-and very expensive. $139 is more than I'd have liked to pay ($60.43 per gram). Lighter, "dental floss" gold chains truly don't hold up to wear. This chain should, and is feminine. I'm happy. Thanks Amazon!

This chain is of fair quality, but I just didn't like the style after all. I realized it was a Figaro when I bought it, but it didn't do much for me and the clasp was too minimal.

This necklace is very thin. It does not appear that way on the web-site, but there is no way it would last very long for my husband.
