I needed a chain that I could wear my charms that my husband got me when I wore sweaters or nicer tops. This meant a LONG chain, and I did not want a gold filled but rather a solid gold, which is not too easy to find any more with the price of gold today. I was kind of skeptical when I found this due to the price tag, but took a chance, thanks to the reviews. I am glad I did. It is both dainty, but strong enough for the heavy pieces I add to it. I have yellow gold piece, and it is looking fantastic on it. It is strong too, as I have a 3 year old granddaughter, and it stands up to her! Yes. Very pleased!!
