Which is better for everyday wear?

Both are 3mm solid 925 silver. The LZJ adds an anti-tarnish coating and a lobster clasp, which helps for daily wear. The Suplight's flat curb links tangle less but need more careful care.

Both are solid sterling silver, not plated, so neither will wear through to a base metal. The LZJ's anti-tarnish coating gives it an edge against discoloration; the Suplight relies on you keeping it dry and polished.

Is the LZJ worth the extra?

At $27.99–$28.99 it is not clearly more expensive. You pay for Italian construction, a coating and a lobster clasp; the Suplight counters with a lower 4.5 rating but far more reviews.

Which holds a pendant better?

The LZJ rope is described as holding medium-sized pendants well. A flat curb like the Suplight slides pendant bails more freely, so a rope is the safer pick for a heavy pendant.

Which suits a woman's neck?

The Suplight lists an 18-inch length, the common women's average. The LZJ's listed lengths start at 22 inches, which sits lower on most necks.

Will either turn my skin green?

Solid 925 silver does not turn skin green the way plated brass can. The LZJ page states it won't; the Suplight is described as hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
