I actually purchased this for myself, because I love Hello Kitty, I only wear sterling silver due to metal allergies, and I was excited that it came with an 18" chain, as many things come with 16", and that doesn't fit my neck. However, upon receiving it, it's much smaller and flimsier than I expected. It definitely looks like it's made for a little girl, and I think it would just look wrong and rediculous on me. That's fine, as I have two little girls. However, a little girl necklace with an 18" chain? That just doesn't work! It's very cute, but the proportions seems to just be wrong for this necklace. I am saving it for my daughter, but by the time an 18" necklace works for her, she may be too old to appreciate it, unless she is silly like her mommy, and still loves Hello Kitty when she gets older.
