I purchased two of these necklaces, one as a gift and one for myself. The necklace is delicate but durable. I put it on when I received it and haven't taken it off since. It has been a little over a month now, and the necklace has withstood showering, haircare, and multiple wardrobe changes. It is so pretty, goes with all manner of outfit, and has a beautiful message. I thought maybe it would be too delicate for this kind of wear but it is not. Not one issue with it at all. Also, the person who received it as a gift, loves it as well and wears it frequently. Love it!!
