I purchased this necklace (I'm a dude) way back in AD2006. At the time of this review it's been over a decade! Yes, a decade... The cost of this is almost the same as when I first purchased this. Back then the 24 inch necklace was cheaper but they charged shipping. I have worn this necklace almost everyday for over a decade only removing it twice. It HAS NOT tarnished one bit. It has never broken (the clasp or necklace). If this is the same quality and manufacture as the one I bought... you're very smart to get this one. World Jewels owns Sabrina Silver it seems since they both share the LA address. That's a good thing it seems since they have a good web presence. The prices are the same here at Amazon and on WorldJewels site. HINT: you can use codes on their other site if one exists. I purchase the exact same one from their main site to use with my father's old Korean War dog tags. This style, size and look is the one you need to match the stainless steel necklaces that are issued by the military. Overall the best jewelry experience. The item has kept its original luster, sheen and never has broken or come undone. I have worn this for over a decade and let me tell you; I've had some crazy experiences and this thing is still brand new. The caveat is if the current stock is the exact same as the stock I purchased. We shall see when my new chain arrives?
