I did some research before choosing this chain because I wanted something delicate yet strong that would resist kinking and breaking. I have had many chains break in the past (the kind that come with a pendant) and they often cost almost as much to repair as they do to buy in the first place. This chain is beautiful, with a soft, smooth feel and a perfect drape--no kinks or tangles. It has not caught my hair into it, and it feels deceptively strong considering its delicate appearance. The lobster claw clasp is small but easy enough to operate and it feels solidly made. Finally, the chain's length 20 inch is as expected. I am looking forward to wearing it on an everyday basis.
