I have a very active lifestyle, and I worry at times that my more valuable jewelry could be lost without even knowing so. Swimming, hiking, biking...you never know when an 18k/22k necklace or bracelet could fall off and you wouldn't realize it until some time later...too late to even know where to look for it. That concern is what prompted the purchase of this necklace; if it falls of while I'm swimming or jogging, it will hurt a whole lot less. That said, it is so sturdy that I imagine it will be with me for a long time to come.

The rose gold plating looks good...time will tell how well it wears. The links are sturdy, and well cut. A great deal of hands-on examination would be necessary to determine the actual gold content. I'm very pleased. The only negative, (and it isn't that bad), is the clasp connector. It does not feel as solid and durable as the chain, and I think that if and when the chain separates, it will be at the clasp. That said, for the price, this is a great value and I have no buyer's remorse.

Edit: 8/8/23 I have attached some photos taken approximately 90 days after purchase. The photos are of the brand new 24" and the 90 day old 22" chain. There is a dramatic difference in the chain's appearance, as can be seen. I don't feel the representation that the chain would not tarnish is accurate.

Full disclosure: I swim in a chlorinated pool daily. I "shower off" after swimming, and take a full "soapy" shower with the chain on nightly. Nothing extraordinary beyond the pool exposure.

I'm sure there is a product available to clean and restore the original appearance, but it does not make the representation true. Kinda disappointed, but for $12, how disappointed can you be?

Good clasp.

I bought this for my boyfriend. He had been wanting a stainless steel chain for a while and I thought we would just go ahead and get him this to see if he liked the style/look on him. He loves it! The necklace is comfortable to wear. Doesn't pull his neck hairs or pinch his skin. The length was perfect also! He ordered a 4mm 20in chain and it looks so good on him!!

My Biracial God Son looks real Gangsta wearing this. He is a good kid.

I wear it 24/7. In the shower, too. Don't ask me, I don't know. Color is still solid for me, tho. It's heavy. I wish I'd gotten a slightly longer or shorter one because when I'm wrestling my girlfriend, it gets stuck on my chin and makes me look like a dork. Most of the time it makes me look like a cool baseball player tho so give and take, I guess.
