I received this necklace as a gift after we found out we miscarried. It brought me to tears and is truly one of my most valued possessions. When I see this necklace I think "My sweet baby..you are forever in mama's arms." Of course this would be nice for any mother but sometimes when a loved one is having a miscarriage you don't know what to do or say....giving this gift will speak volumes. It's delicate and I love the diamonds on the side. I have been wearing this a couple months and have had no issues with discoloration.
