Just sort of meh. The necklace laid just above a standard rounded collar/neckline on me. The size and weight seemed like it would feel high quality, but the gold looked a little brassy. I loved the idea of the one link that was sort of abalone-looking, but the contrast wasn't quite enough from the rest of the links to really stand out. A coworker said she spent almost a whole meeting staring at the one link trying to decide if it was different or not.
