My fiance bought this for me for Valentine's Day. He thought he was getting an elegant looking little pendant on a strong necklace, however, when we opened the box, it was a large, chunky, play-jewelry looking necklace. The meaning was wonderful, but the necklace could use some work. Definitely not worth $26... And DEFINITELY NOT for your girlfriend... This would be a good necklace for a young girl from her parents or something.
