Okay so, I have been wearing my necklace nonstop for 2 months this summer, I know i’m suppose to take it off when I shower and stuff.. but sometimes your girl is too lazy and who wants jewelry that is a hassle? I have worn it in the ocean, in the shower, to bed, sprayed sunscreen with it on, endured the summer heat with it on! And It still looks GREAT. Has not tarnished, still a shiny gold, so I am happy with that. I got the size Small and wished I got a Med but it’s okay it’s cute and dainty. The only thing I wish is that it had an extension chain.
