18-Inch 012 Box Chain Necklace

This 18-inch box chain necklace comes complete with quality tag and spring ring. Made of sterling silver, this finished necklace is perfect for displaying your favorite charms and pendants. Try stringing large hole Swarovski crystals for accents. The box-like design of this chain necklace is more resistant to kinking and bends with ease. Perfect for a quick-fix gift idea or simple everyday elegance.

Not all .925
Date:February 22, 2013
Pros: Price
Cons: not accurately described
"Well made and beautiful. Great value for money but misleading if you think you're getting all sterling. While the chain may be .925 Sterling Silver, the Clasp definitely is not! The photos shows a .925 stamp on the clasp but the clasp sticks to a magnet like steel. Sterling silver will not stick to a magnet."

Response from Artbeads:By Customer ServiceFebruary 27, 2013
The magnet is sticking to the spring inside of the clasp. Items can be called sterling and still contain non-sterling components when the functionality of those components are essential to the correct functioning of the item. We hope this helps.

"This is a very, very lightweight chain not suited for heavy pendants...I am sorry to say I was deeply disappointed and won't be buying this chain again. It might be OK for for something inexpensive but I would not hang anything with value on this chain."

top quality for low price
Date:August 8, 2011
Pros: Price, Ease of Use, Quality, Color, sturdy
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing striking combinations
Creation: simple necklace
"This is a lovely chain with the quality you'd expect of a more expensive chain. It is delicate, yet strong enough to hold a small to medium pendant. I added a Hill Tribe heart that I'd purchased earlier from Artbeads - looks great and I've had requests for the same set from my friends..."

"This finished box chain is a great addition in any necklace design. It is a very fine chain, which almost makes a fragile. We have had good luck with the chain in many of our necklace designs."

Beautiful!

"I bought two of these necklace chains because I wasn't sure what kind of quality it was going to come in and when I received them in the mail, it far exceeded my expectations! I just love them so much and hoping to purchase more when it is restocked!"
