This cross is absolutely beautiful, i love it. Hand crafted nicely. I've only had it for a few days so ill see how it does with the everyday wear and tear but i don't see it becoming a problem. I chose this cross cause it came in my fav color and Im a horse trainer so the horseshoe nails was perfect. Jamie (the maker) was very nice as well, she emailed me to make sure i got it. Overall VERY happy with the whole experience.
