I had been searching for a beautiful, high quality, gold herringbone chain necklace for months when I finally stumbled upon this one. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have not taken it off since I purchased it in September - it stays on my neck when I sleep, in the shower, when I workout, etc., and it has remained as beautiful as the day it arrived. "Liquid gold" is the perfect description of this necklace; it's a great staple piece for every day wear or to dress up!
