My daughter LOVES Zelda!! I was looking for some item of jewelry for her and saw this. I didn't have very high expectations for it, so much "theme" type jewelry is sort of cheap and much more "toy-quality" versus costume jewelry. When it arrived, I was VERY happy!

First, it is BIG. Not crazy, goofy big, but definitely a pendant no one will miss (see my photo above.)  The face of the shield has raised detailing, and is painted quite well. The sword does indeed come out, and is slightly sharp, not like a penknife though. It snaps in securely and is protected while inserted, so it it isn't like it is going to fall out or stab the wearer.

My daughter wears hers at least 3 times a week and always gets questions and compliments on it. I sorta would like to wear it myself!!
