This is my first stainless piece, and I have to say, I like it better than I thought I would. I posted a video of the chain next to a white gold cuban to show the color difference. Stainless is definitely darker than silver and white gold, but in the sun, you probably wouldn't notice a difference. This chain looks way better in person. If you want a piece that doesn't require any real maintenance, this is the one. At 22in the chain weighs 26 grams.
