I have the anklet and the necklace, and also recently bought a second anklet for my daughter's birthday. I'm telling you all this because my anklet is two years old and looks identical to the new one. My jewelry has been worn and worn--in the shower, in the ocean, in the sunlight, covered with SPF, doused in lotion, sprayed with cologne, etc. etc. Rhodium is amazing stuff! As has been mentioned, the cut is such that it emits just the right amount of sparkle as one moves, and the chain is sturdy without looking heavy. Highly recommended!
