I just purchased this charm pendant along with the darker emerald-like charm, to put on bracelets for my nieces whose birthdays are in August and May. The heart shape is a little less than 1/2 inch. With its attachment, it is a little over an inch. It is not overly shiny, but just enough. It was the right size for the bracelet I attached it to, so I am pleased with my items. It was shipped from China,and arrived earlier than estimated, in about 8 days, securely protected in bubble wrap.
