Thank you for your detailed feedback. We appreciate you noting that the item you received is technically in full conformity with the product description as advertised.
For clarity, pieces in this weight range—especially in sterling silver—are not manufactured as fully solid due to both wearability and industry standards. This allows the design to remain comfortable while maintaining durability for everyday use.
Regarding the construction, the connecting links you referenced are produced using standard industry methods. As seen in your photos, this type of assembly is commonly used across similar products and is not considered a defect but rather a typical manufacturing approach.
That said, we truly value your expectations and feedback, and we’re always here to assist if you’d like to explore alternative styles that better match your preference.
