I chose the choker chain and I wear my MAMAN necklace every day! Definitely recommend the 15 length, with the tiny tag it's just so sweet. Simple, meaningful, and adorable.

Ruby and Peridot are next💖 I just love this gorgeous outsized heart trimmed in gold and the slice of gemstone must be admired in person. Adore the chunky gold chain as well, which I got in both 20 and 24 length for options. Also great as a gifting set along with the gemstone heart earrings, I earmarked the Black Onyx as a graduation present next year for my too cool niece🖤

Don't
The words on the necklace are barely legible. The necklace is silver but the charm looks like nickel. Nice idea for a necklace but the charm leaves a lot to be desired. For the cost, definitely not worth the money.

Perfect for retiring friend.
Sparkly and fun this unique necklace was a hit with my friend who was showing it to everyone to read. I got the longer chain and it fits over her head rather than having our older hands fumbling with those tiny clasps.
