I didn't realize that this was actually jewelry. I wear a cloth scapular as a sign of my faith. This scapular was much longer than expected. However, due to the extended length, the front of the scapular is long enough to be placed into my bra front which stabilizes it. Therefore, the scapular doesn't fall exclusively to the front or the back which is the way it should be worn. This turns out to be a really good thing! Also, I'm allergic to nickel and have had no problem with this.
