I’ve owned this necklace for several years. It is my favorite piece to take on beach and diving vacations. (Although, I do wear it at home in the mountains quite often, too.) Every time I wear this beautiful mermaid pendant I receive compliments and am asked about it. It is so different than all the other “silly” mermaid jewelry that can be found everywhere. This necklace is clearly a piece of art. The pendant is large enough to look beautiful on many different lengths of necklace. I own the silver mermaid and with simple cleaning she remains perfect year after year. This was an anniversary gift from my husband and has now been all over the world with me. I really love it!
