I love hearts, so when I saw this pendant I knew I had to have it - and I am so glad that I got it! This is a substantial piece - not cheap or flimsy like the kind that turn your skin green. Quite the contrary! This piece is heavy, sturdy, and so well made that it absolutely looks like it's completely real! The quality is incredible, and the way the stones sparkle make it look as if it just came out of the jeweler's showcase! And the gold over sterling silver plating is done so well - there are no blemishes or bumps. I have owned this piece for a short time now, and so far I have had no issues with the chain or the pendant turning my neck green, causing me to break out or hurting my skin where it is touching it. I believe that it is hypoallergenic for those who are sensitive to other metals like nickel and copper - this doesn't contain either. I myself am actually really sensitive to cheap metals (much to my husband's chagrin lol} and so far I haven't had any problem with this necklace. The engravied messagae is really sweet, and it is etched, not just printed, so it won't rub off. This beautiful piece comes complete with the chain so it is ready to wear straight out of the box. The chain measures 17 inches, with an additional two inches of additional "add on" length if needed. This lovely heart pendant is approximately an inch and a half long, so like I said, it's substantial in size - but it's definitely not too much for the chain to hold. They go together perfectly, and it looks absolutely amazing when worn. The CZs and garnet are beautiful, quality stones - not quite as hard as moissanites, but they are beautiful just the same, and they're so sparkly that nobody can tell they aren't real. Yes, they are that good! There's honestly absolutely nothing about this pendant that looks cheap or cheesy - quite the contrary. This is a very tasteful, classy looking pendant that looks like it should cost a lot more than it does! In fact, when my husband saw me wearing it he almost didn't believe that I got it on Amazon, and he had to look at it up close. After a thorough examination he just said, "Wow, that looks expensive" lol! I can't really speak to it's durability of either the pendant or the chain, since I haven't had it that long, but I do tend to take good care of my jewelry so I am hopeful that this will last. Along with the pendant and the chain this arrives with a nice presentation gift box for gifting, and inside the box is a cleaning cloth. Overall I really like this beautiful pendant, and I would definitely would recommend it. This would make an excellent gift for any woman - Wife, Sweetheart, Mother, Daughter, Aunt, Grandmother, or even a close friend or co-worker. The inscription does say "I'll love you forever" though, so you may want to consider that before you give it to anyone! Nonetheless, it would make a really great gift - if you can part with it! And for the price, I definitely consider it a great bargain! I actually liked this so much that I literally had to get more like it!
