Yes, the Helen Ficalora charms and chain I have are great quality!! Like bunbix said, the charms have such a nice weight, I find myself playing with them frequently. I have her twisted chain, it's sturdier than the thinner one and slightly more expensive. It's held up perfectly for me for two years now. I wear it to work all the time, I'm a nurse and do 12 hour shifts in an operating room, I think that's a pretty good test of wear! I clean the chain once and a while with some mild soap and a toothbrush and then it looks good as new. My HF necklace is really my favorite piece of jewelry behind my wedding set!!
