It is hard to purchase jewelry online. I was excited to place the order but when it arrived, it just didn't have the same effect as on the picture. The length was accurate, but the depth was smaller than what I had expected. It is diamond cut, but didn't seem to have the glisten that comes with being diamond cut. I thought the craftsmanship was great. The clasp was sturdy, the links were put together very well. It was a gold box purchase so I was comfortable paying that price. Nice necklace to hold a small charm.

When I got it, I was thinking about returning it because of the color was not 100% right for gold piece. It felt like vermeil. But I didn't return it because 1. I needed a chain and 2. I believe the price does not lie.

I find this chain strong, bright, and lays just right. The 1.9mm is just right for pendents or to wear alone. Not too thin, nor is it too thick that you can't get it through a bail. A good value. I the Espiga is a design I have not encountered elsewhere. Very satisfied with the product. I may get various lengths and layer them.

I wear this chain almost every day. At 1.9mm and 7.5 grams, I think it's just about the ideal size for a woman. It always drapes nicely, never kinks, and color is just right for 14k gold - neither brassy nor orange. I shopped around quite a bit before buying this chain, and found that Amazon's Gold Box deal on this item was the best value on 14k (in dollars per gram) by a wide margin.

So many reviews on other chains complain that it is thinner than expected, well this one is as it appears (1.9mm) and when you hold it in your hand it has some heft to it. If you compare this 7.5 gm weight to similar chains you'll see many are only in the 4 gram range at this price, making this an excellent value purchase at the 119.00 GB special. Also it does have sparkle to the diamond cut chain. It looks and feels expensive and I love it!
