and for this price it should be more durable. I thought to return it but could find nothing like it so will take it to my jeweler and see if he can replicate it in more durable materials. It is very cheaply made but I love the sentiment behind it so will keep it. Beware though; it is not deeply etched and markings quickly wear off and it tarnishes even with removing every time I shower or apply anything. It's a pain to baby it so much.
