Yes, the chain is dainty and feels fragile. However, at this price point i feel it is expected. I am hoping it does not rip easily, but I would be extra careful with it just to be sure. It’s very elegant and classy, and i can’t wait to purchase pendants to match the chain. Everything is exactly how it looks in the pictures, and with the right care it should uphold its integrity. I am so pleased with my order and will DEFINITELY be purchasing more<3. Again, thank you so much for your hard work 😊. Gorgeous jewelry!
