I gave this pendant/necklace to my 10 year-old soccer-playing niece for Christmas.  She was thrilled with it!  Since receiving the necklace, her mom reports that she wears it practically every day - taking it off only for her indoor soccer and basketball games.  (She leaves it on for ballet).  The size of the pendant is just right for her size.  Remarkably, the necklace is still in tact!  Given the price for this necklace (and the fact that it hasn't broken yet), it was a wonderful value!
