I purchased these chains as I like a slightly longer chain for my pendants. The end is small enough to pit through the bale of all of my pendants. They are also nice in that you may adjust them, if you would prefer a shorter chain. The chains are delicate and do not distract at all from any of my pendants. I purchased a near-identical from a major chain jewelry outlet store. I paid nearly $100 for just the one chain. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.
