"1oz is pretty heavy", they said. "Fine won't hold up; only Sterling will", they said. But the illuminati ain't got nuthin' on ya boi. I ain't a part of no system. Some call me a "rebel", but that implies that I'm part of a system.
I think I got a bit off-topic for a second. This is my 5oz .999 cross with a sterling bail and a 30' 4mm sterling chain, beside a "slightly bigger than average cross". Yes I know I'm white.
Yes, the chain has held up fine and it hasn't shown any signs of damage or wear. I guarantee it will last at least another year. Doesn't matter, it was $27 on Amazon.
This picture doesn't show how shiny it is, but...
The chain and clasp (so keyboard jewelry experts can judge the future longevity of it)
In case you feel like doing something like it, keep in mind:
PROS:
Looks gangsta, but it can be worn to church.
A neat investment, should have good resale value as a .999 fine bullion.
A whole lot of "cool" for the price (I paid ~197 USD total).
Something to look at and fidget with when you're bored and your phone is dead.
Can be thrown over your head (at least with a 30-inch chain).
CONS:
Swings/sways and hits you and bounces around when you walk.
The price (mainly the 52 USD I spent getting a little bail put on).
Might make you look like a douche?
I personally love it, and I think I'm the first in the world to wear a 5oz fine silver cross as a pendant! I wouldn't mind if others would like to have a go at it. Thanks for reading!
