The chain on the necklace is longer than I expected and it has no clasp like most alchemy pieces. That is a positive in my book because I'm forever getting the clasps caught in my hair. I'm quite short in the body so when I wear this necklace the heart of Cthulhu sits at the base of my sternum I imagine on other folk who are longer in body this would probably sit over the heart. It has quite a bit of wight to it, it is in no way a light or dainty pendant. It is large and in your face and really beautiful I could loose myself for hours staring at the light play in the crystal. It certainly catches the eye and has certainly been a conversation starter. It's worth every penny.
