This necklace exceeded my expectations. I have a real gold rope chain, but it's broken so I haven't been able to wear it. I compared my real gold rope chain with this one, and you can hardly tell the difference. I wanted something I wouldn't have to worry about getting damaged. At first, I was a bit skeptical of the cost of the necklace, how could it possibly be good quality and be so low-priced? Well since I've gotten the necklace, I haven't taken it off! No staining, tarnishing, or break...
