The locket is larger than expected, but that is something I can deal with. It is beautiful but feels very light. I am afraid that if I open and close it too much the hinges will break. Also, the chain that comes with the necklace is not real gold and does not match the color of the necklace. it is almost bright yellow. I ordered a new chain to go with it, and that looks much nicer. It is still a pretty locket, but I do not think it will last a very long time.
