Macy'sSparkle Rope 18" Chain Necklace (2mm) in 14k Gold

2mm 14k gold rope chain missing while wearing

At first, my boyfriend and I absolutely loved this Christmas gift for him. The necklace was beautiful and paired perfectly with the cross pendant he wanted to start wearing again. It was a 2mm 14k gold rope chain, and this was our first significant jewelry purchase, so we were very excited about it. Unfortunately, within a week of wearing it, the chain broke and went missing. We’re not entirely sure what happened, but the clasp is extremely small—similar in size to the clasp on my delicate silver necklace, which I’ve never had issues with. Given how carefully he wore it (kept tucked inside his shirt while working and only worn daily), we were surprised and disappointed that it disconnected so quickly. I understand that a 2mm chain is on the thinner side, but I had hoped that being solid 14k gold, it would be more secure and durable than this. Thankfully, the cross pendant on it was not his late mother’s cross, which would have been devastating to lose. Overall, we truly loved the look and quality of the necklace itself, but we were disappointed by the clasp choice and the fact that it didn’t last even a full week. We would love the opportunity to be able to replace it in the future, possibly with a more secure clasp.
