Like many reviewers, I've gone through many anklets.  At least a few each summer. Why you ask?  I never take it off. I'm too lazy to be the type of person that removes all jewelry everyday.  I've had it a few months and I have not taken it off. Literally. I wear it to sleep, under socks with tennis shoes, while swimming, showers, etc etc. This is the first anklet I have ever had that has not broken.  It also looks amazing; its very thin but noticeable. I recommend this to anyone that wants an anklet; its truly worth every penny.
