Bling For Your Buck 18K Gold Over Sterling Silver .8mm Thin Italian Box Chain Necklace 14" - 40"

I just wanted to give it 5 stars and be done with the review, but they require a description on Amazon...so I'll post my mom's secret chocolate chip cookie recipe here instead (not so secret anymore, is it, Mom!?):4 cubes butter, softened2 heaping cups dark brown sugar (packed, then heap that shiz)½ cups white sugar2 tablespoons vanilla1 ½ teaspoon salt1 ½ teaspoons baking soda3 eggs6 cups flour1 bag chocolate chips (semi-sweet or sweet)Mix BY HAND all ingredients, except flour and chips (mixing by hand makes them taste better, trust me).Then add flour and chips and stir BY HAND. Bake @ 350 for 9-11 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet. Enjoy the preciouses.Note: makes a buttload of cookies, so you might want to halve the recipe.

Been wearing the chains with small pendants for a week or so now. They are great. Good quality, small enough clasp to put the charms on with no problem. Very pretty.Picture shows both 16" and 18" length chains.

**1 Year UPDATE**This chain is still just as beautiful as the day I bought it! I wore it all through the blistering heat of Summer last year, vigorous workouts, perfumes/hairspray, and showers. It started looking dull around 5 months, so I took the chain and put it on a piece of aluminum foil in a bowl, covered it with 2 tsp baking soda, then added 1/4 cup boiling water and a drop of dawn dish soap. I let it sit in the mixture until the water cooled and then scrubbed with a toothbrush. I've done this multiple times now and it comes out blindingly shiny everytime. Hope this helps! (The one year update photo is the one with the butterfly pendant.)**Original Review**Beautiful, well made, and absolutely worth the price. It glistens when the light hits it, so it's definitely an eye catcher! I also love the length that I chose (22")- perfect a tall woman like myself. It's so gorgeous I hope it doesn't change colors or dull. Will update after weeks/months of wear. Came packaged nicely as well.

Update!!! After posting my review, this seller contacted me and is sending not only a replacement at no charge, but an upgrade!!! I would highly recommend this seller if for nothing else but the AWESOME customer service they have!! I loved the look of the chain I had and am SO HAPPY to be getting a replacement! Thank you Marty!!! I bought this chain for a pendant my husband bought me years ago and the original chain it came on had broken. Have had the chain for about 6 weeks and today it just broke!! It hasn't been yanked on kinked or anything that might have caused it to break!! I stood up and heard the pendant hit the floor. It didn't break at the clasp, but mid chain. Very disappointed! I thought it was a higher quality chain. As you can see in pic, it doesn't show any damage other than it just came apart.

I'm usually happy with my purchases from Amazon but this was a total waste of money.it turned black after 3 days!if I could give it no stars i would!

I really like this necklace. It’s shiny and looks well built. Just know that the 16in comes a little shorter than 16in. Same with the 18in, it comes a little shorter than 18in. I first ordered the 16in, but it was more like a choker. The closure weighs back and makes the necklace look smaller from the front (unless you’re using a heavy pendant - my pendant is lightweight). It made my neck look short. Then I returned it. I ordered the 18in instead and it falls a little over my collar bone and it doesn’t make my neck look shorter than it is. If you don’t want an almost-choker, you might want to go with the 18in one.I’m wearing mine 24/7 and will update my review if it ever tarnishes.I’ve uploaded pictures of both sizes I tried, 16in and 18in.

At first, I really liked it. But I have worn it for about 5-6 times and it's been a month or so only. But I already am seeing the color fade off and turning black at places. I am very disappointed.

Simply perfect! Got this in the 14 and had to get another in the 16 because I loved it so much. The 14 is more like a choker which looks good with certain outfits, and the 16 is my every day go to, with nothing on it. But a pendant would look great with it too. Quality is great and can’t beat that price. Wearing the 16 in the photo.6 month update: I wear this everyday and it has definitely faded. Not shiny any more and losing its gold color. Looks more like a silver now. May be my fault for never taking off, including showers. May buy another or go with a different one.
