90-Day Review: MKENDN Locomotive Necklace from Sumsfashion

For the past 90 days, I've been wearing a chain necklace from Sumsfashion: the MKENDN Locomotive Men's Vintage Oxidized Black Chain. This 6MM Round Box Link Stainless Steel piece appealed to me for its punk rock biker aesthetic. Below is my detailed, day-by-day account of the experience. Consider this before you make a purchase!

• Distinctive, cool appearance
• Initially seems very durable
• Reasonably priced

Day 1: First Impressions

The delivery was prompt. Upon unboxing, the necklace's look immediately caught my eye. The vintage, oxidized black finish is pronounced, and the 6mm round box link chain appears robust. It felt heavier than anticipated, which I took as a positive indicator of quality. My first impression was that it looked like something a rockstar would wear, though I was curious about how well the black coating would endure over time.

The packaging was minimal—just a simple plastic bag—which was unsurprising given the price point. I inspected it for any obvious flaws, such as broken links or scratches, and found everything to be in good condition. I did find myself wondering if a necklace like this could ever serve as an alternative to a diamond ring for women, though I was aiming for a completely different style.

Verdict: Positive first impression. Matches the product description.

Week 1: Getting Used to It

I wore the necklace daily during the first week to assess its comfort and potential for skin irritation, a concern given my sensitive skin. I also tested its durability through various daily activities, including work, exercise, and social outings. Throughout, the question of whether a chain could replace a diamond ring for women lingered in my mind.

• The weight required slight adjustment but wasn't uncomfortable.
• Pleasantly, the black finish showed no easy scratching.
• I received several compliments on it.
• No skin irritation occurred.

The clasp was initially quite stiff, requiring some effort to operate, though I hoped it would loosen with use. The chain proved versatile, pairing well with most of my casual outfits and adding a nice edge. I also explored other necklace styles in the sub_category.

Verdict: Comfortable for daily wear. No significant problems.

Month 1: Daily Use

After a month of near-constant wear, a routine was established. I only removed it for showering or swimming to avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater, testing the price-to-quality ratio. I observed minor wear on the black finish, particularly around the clasp area. While noticeable upon close inspection, it didn't detract from the overall look, which remained better than expected for the cost.

• The clasp did loosen slightly, becoming easier to handle.
• Compliments continued.
• I began wiping it down with a soft cloth every few days to remove dirt and sweat.

Some online research into stainless steel jewelry care revealed the importance of avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, and that a special polishing cloth could help maintain its shine. My thoughts increasingly turned to whether this was a viable alternative to a diamond ring for women.

Verdict: Shows minor wear but continues to perform well.

Month 3: Long-Term Verdict

Having worn the MKENDN Locomotive necklace from Sumsfashion for three months, I'm impressed by its durability. The black finish has endured better than anticipated. While there's some slight fading, it arguably enhances the vintage aesthetic. The clasp remains fully functional, with no issues of broken or separated links. By this point, I had abandoned the idea of comparing it to a diamond ring for women.

• The necklace remains comfortable for all-day wear.
• It has caused no skin irritation.
• It still attracts compliments.

This necklace offers excellent value for its price. It's a stylish, durable accessory that adds a cool edge to any outfit. If you're in the market for an affordable chain, be sure to check real buyer photos and reviews first.

Verdict: Outstanding value for money.

Would I Buy Again?

Absolutely, I would purchase this necklace again. It represents great value, combining style, durability, and comfort. I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone seeking a punk rock biker-style chain. It's no diamond ring for women, but it perfectly complements my personal style.
