This has been a favorite necklace of mine ever since I got it! At first I wondered if it would be too chunky for my tastes but I think it's perfect. The style goes with both casual and dressy attire. I have worn this while swimming in a river canoeing doing yard work and in the bath. It hasn't faded or corroded at all. The heart pendant is made out of thick and strong material yet it's lightweight enough to be comfortable. It is shiny and feminine but not at all gaudy. I love it!
