I have been checking out both silver and gold heart pendants. When I came across this one on Amazon and read all the positive reviews I ordered it that day. This i my first sterling silver piece and I love it. I love the design of this pendant and it is not overstated. I will agree the necklace/chain itself is small but the clasp is larger so that does make it easier for getting it on and off. You can't beat this price for such a nice piece of jewelry!
