I purchased this for my 13 year ols daughter. It is perfect. It is very shiny and the chain is NICE. Not all chains are but I promise you won't go wrong with this piece. She has wore it everyday and night and it still looks like she just took it out of the box. For "Sterling Silver" that is awesome too! This is something you can hand down for generations to come. A serious GREAT BUY! Top of the line in silver!!!!
