I have worn this non-stop since receiving it a few weeks ago.  This is a perfect necklace.  I am a 45 year old mother of 3 young boys.  I work at home.  my dress is casual on my best days; somewhat athletic/frumpy on my regular days; downright unmatching and harried on my worst days.  Through out it all, I have worn this necklace with a pair of gold ball earrings and have garnered compliments on it no matter what type of day I was having!
