What a gorgeous silver chain this is! It is not quite sterling (835 instead of 925) but is still so beautiful. Each link is slightly textured, and the necklace has a "feather" type pattern etched on it. It is has a push-slot clasp with a safety latch. The flexible omega-style links makes the entire 16 inches hug the contours of your neck so perfectly. The clasp is marked "835" and the necklace is in like-new condition.
