I was given this necklace by my daughter via my husband.  It is very sparkly, but the chain gives me some trouble.  However, I do enjoy the pendant.  I have a very active 2 year old that likes to play with my "pretties."  She has broken several other pieces of jewelry and I enjoy the notion that this was less expensive and can handle a bit more abuse.  I have received many compliments and no one realizes that it says mom until closer inspection.  I gave this 4 stars only because of the chain being a bit cheaper.  I love the pendant.
