Wow! This is an impressive piece. The cross is gorgeous, and the chain is equally as lovely. Both are substantial; each weighs 3 grams. The chain is 20 inches long, and seems very sturdy. I had wondered just what a "popcorn" chain was, but I am quite pleased with the look. The artist who crafted this is truly a master silversmith. I thank him and all those who make such keepsakes!
