Looking for affordable jewelry? I've been wearing the classic Figaro Chain necklace from Sumsfashion for 90 days. I wanted a simple, everyday necklace that wouldn't break the bank, especially considering the rising cost of everything, including engagement rings for women under $500. I was skeptical about the quality of stainless steel fashion jewelry at such a low price. Here's my experience, day by day.
The package arrived quickly. Inside was the Figaro chain necklace from Sumsfashion. It looked better than I expected for the price. It had a nice shine, and the clasp seemed sturdy. The weight felt good; not too heavy, not too flimsy. My first thought was, "This could actually work!" I was initially considering it as a placeholder while saving up for something fancier, maybe even an alternative to engagement rings for women under $500 in certain situations, but first impressions mattered.
However, I also noticed some minor imperfections. The links weren't perfectly aligned in a couple of spots. You had to look closely to see it, but it was there. It made me wonder about the long-term quality. Still, for an accessory in this price range, especially when budgeting is essential and when considering engagement rings for women under $500, these flaws seemed acceptable.
Verdict: Initial impression is positive but watch for minor imperfections.
I wore the necklace every day for the first week. I showered with it, slept with it, and wore it while working. I wanted to see how it held up to daily life. I experienced no skin irritation, which was a big plus. I've had reactions to cheap jewelry before. The clasp stayed secure; I didn't have to worry about it falling off. The shine remained, though I noticed some minor smudges from handling it.
The length was perfect for me; it sat nicely around my collarbone. However, I did notice that the chain could sometimes get caught on my hair. It wasn't a major issue, but it was something I had to be mindful of. One thing I can say is that it's been a great addition to my outfits without costing as much as some of the engagement rings for women under $500.
Verdict: Comfortable to wear, but be aware of hair getting caught.
After a month of daily use, the necklace was still holding up well. The color hadn't faded, and there were no signs of rust or corrosion. I cleaned it regularly with a soft cloth to maintain its shine. I even wore it to the gym a few times, and it survived without any issues.
Here’s what I learned after a month:
