My youngest son gave this to my wife for Christmas. It was a hit from the moment she opened it and read the box and got better as she opened it, looked at it, etc. She hasn't taken it off since.

Before we wrapped it, my son had me help put the birthstones in. Given the size of the locket, the stones aren't huge but still easy to see. It took awhile to figure out how to open the locket, but eventually it dawned on me to remove the locket from the chain. Once the chain was removed, it was easy to get the locket it open. The chain helps keep the locket closed tight.

Given it's new, there may be issues as we go but given it's sterling silver, I anticipate we'll have to polish it from time-to-time to get rid of tarnish, etc. But it was a great find and would recommend it if you are looking for a great personal gift.
