This is a beautiful gorget. I wear a 16 1/2 collar and this fits perfectly. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the front of the gorget digs into my chest. I have a 44″ chest and the front curves steeply enough to cause discomfort. This gorget would be better for someone with a flatter, smaller chest. The metal is thick and sturdy which would usually be a good thing but it’s too thick to bend outward to fit my chest. I’ll most likely give this as a gift to a thinner friend since it’s too uncomfortable to wear.
