I saw this necklace on a friend recently while having lunch and had to have it. I'm allergic to metals, but the steel cable with silver hardware did not give me a rash...yay! The necklace is very lightweight, easy to store, and the magnet clasp is very strong. It's simply elegant. I visited the Grand Central store and the lady at the store was very inviting and accommodating. I am a new fan of MPR's jewelry.
