I bought this for mothers day. At first, I was unsure if I should buy it, mainly because of the price. I didn't want to buy her something that would snap easily or turn her skin green. However, once I saw some of the reviews I had decided; I was going to buy it. Once I had bought it, the necklace came pretty quickly - before the estimated time! When I opened it, like the reviews said, it came in lovely packaging. The chain has actually got a bit of thickness to it. The locket itself is a little on the small side so putting pictures in there may become a bit difficult but it was lovely. The slight detail on the locket was just nice and I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a bargin! (it hasn't even turned her skin green, either. it's been around a week and she has worn it everyday since.. ) hope this helps someone :)
