This is a nice simple pendent and the chain is not pretty decent as well - it is not as fragile as some other silver chains. The front 'Mom' facet is nice and detailed. The back with all the wording is in very small print, but they had to fit a lot there, and it is the meaning that counts the most. It has a good weight to it and overall your mom will be pleased with this nice, thoughtful chain. I highly recommend it.
