I'm well aware this is not highend jewelry but with todays microtechnology I would have expected something a bit nicer. The chain is dull and cheap looking and probably a bit small for the size of the locket. The front design of the heart is attractive especially with the colors added but it has a cheap feel like its hollow inside each half. I can't recommend it unless you are buying it for the thought over the quality. My wife loved it when our children gave it to her and I guess that's all that really matters.
