I'm double checking my review to make sure nobody buys it without knowing the weak link so to speak. I caught it on a doorknob and took very little effort to separate it. Each end has a ring. Another reviewer recommends replacing them with a key ring, I agree. It would be better to solder the connections before plating. The chain should be as strong as the belt or loop you will be clipping it to. The chain still looks great and with interchangeable key rings it's much stronger.
