I bought this item as a gift for my sister.  When it came, I was sad to see that it looks much cheaper than I expected.  The area on the 'parents' appears to have a white-ish coloration, almost as if they inlaid another material over it so that the child would contrast with the color.  The packaging is just awful- cheap and thin.  In fact, I had to get another box to put it in before I gave it to her.  My sister still decided to return it in hopes of finding another, nicer family necklace.  I do not suggest buying this product.
