I ordered this heart as a gift for a friend of over 45 years. I wanted something special and she was very touched. The heart is a good size. We need a magnifying glass to read the touching inscription though. I ordered a weightier chain separately. It was good that I did, because the chain that accompanied it was too light weight for the size of the heart pendant. I was pleased, as was the recipient, with this pendant. I don't think you would be disappointed either, giving or receiving. I typically order "Prime Eligible" through Amazon.com because of the free shipping option and easy tracking and returns.  The item arrive as promised, in time for the surprise party!
