Often I am disappointed by jewelry I purchase online because when it arrives it is not a lovely or as large as pictured online.  However, this piece was not a disappointment.  It is about the size shown - maybe a little larger.  The chain is strong and the hear well made and polished.  A very nice piece of jewelry that can be used for any occassion - even to thank someone for having an open heart or for letting someone know your heart is open to them.
