I bought this necklace the day before Christmas Eve fully anticipating it's eventual demise at the hands of my curious five month old son. What I did not anticipate was after the second time wearing it, without my son having a chance to break it, it completely broke on it's own when I went to take it off. This was either due to equipment malfunction that went unnoticed or a disgusting display of poor workmanship. Whichever the reason I would not recommend this product to prospective buyers.
