I must say that I was very cautious when about to purchase this item. This was one of my first purchases and a different cross from another seller fell apart once I tried to wear it! I hoped this one would be what I expected and it absolutely was! The package arrived about five days before the site said it would (It was like I had purchased the speed shipping!) and lived up to expectations with the wonderful craftsmanship that came! I will be buying different colors in the future! God bless you because I really needed a good cross and I finally got one!
