Pretty nice...time will tell if it holds up. Follow-up...after maybe purchsing a week ago, just fell off my neck...chain broke...so would not recommend.
Penny B.1/5Verified
It looked just like the pictures! It's sturdy and durable - I haven't taken it off since it arrived and the metal hasn't tarnished whatsoever. It's survived showers, hot tubs, and long 12 hour shifts.
Jennifer W.5/5Verified
My perfect forever necklace for my daughters initial
Renuka H.5/5Verified
Very cute necklace. I do wish that you could offer longer chains with your necklaces. Not just extenders but actual longer chains.

I love this necklace! It’s simple yet cute in the best way. I wear it everyday to sleep, shower, workout, etc. It hasn’t changed at all. Great quality!
Mickenzie L.5/5Verified
Love this necklace, it’s one of my daily staples
Kristen G.5/5Verified
I bought this necklace for my granddaughter. She's a special person to me and when she comes to visit I try each time to have a surprise for her. She's coming for the summer and I can't wait to see her eyes light up with this surprise. I love this necklace with the first initial of her name and she's going to love it also. Wonderful choice for her and myself because I ordered another with my initial on it. So we will be twinning :) as we sometimes do as grandmother and granddaughter. Thanks L.C.
Shelia J.5/5Verified
Very cute necklace. I can wear this for days without taking it off. Pairs well with other necklaces!
Kristine E.5/5Verified
Great quality and I would recommend for others! Creative designs, which is what is most important to me. Good communication and delivery too.
Alan F.5/5Verified
LOVE THIS necklace. Many compliments however the o rings need to be stronger better quality a small tug from pulling up my hair broke the connection. I was able to use tweezers to put back together but not an easy task
Sharon S.4/5Verified
Several people have asked me where I got this piece! Simple but still a statement.
Nancy I.5/5Verified
Very cute but the letter is not attractive in the way its printed on
Michelle K.4/5Verified
Really cute but really small lock and you can’t see the initial J
Ramiro F.5/5Verified
Great customer service! My original piece discolored and they replaced it no questions asked.
Renee R.5/5Verified
My favorite necklace. All three of boys’ names start with J, so this has a lot of meaning for me!! I haven’t had it long, and have had to fix it twice (the clasp onto the lock slipped out), but I just love it so much for the meaning, I don’t mind. I don’t take it off!!
Christine D.4/5Verified
I haven’t taken this off since I got it and it’s held up very well! Showers, perfumes, exercise, etc.
Taylor H.5/5Verified
I ordered a, C necklace. Beautiful necklace. 4/5 stars as the C is misprinted a little bit.
Briana M.4/5Verified
I absolutely love this necklace and would recommend this. It is cute, feminine, and adorable—everything I wanted in this necklace. So far, I have not taken it off and have worn it every day. It still looks wonderful.
Wanda S.5/5Verified
Loved the p but somehow I received a Q instead of an I so that’s no good and bracelet is too small! So honestly it was a waste of $
Dawn N.5/5Verified
Perfect small necklace
Devin B.5/5Verified
The heart necklace came broken...which was the main reason I placed the order.
Kathryn M.4/5Verified
I really like it but the letter J is really hard to see, so that was the only disappointment. Otherwise, super cute necklace.

Questions
Frequently asked
The honest answers, before you ask.
Is it really 100% waterproof?
Yes — shower, ocean, pool, gym. Our pieces are 316L surgical-grade stainless steel fused with 18k gold, so water, sweat, lotion and perfume can't touch them.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
No. Unlike plated jewelry, fused gold doesn't flake, fade or oxidize — and it's nickel-free and lead-free, so it's safe for the most sensitive skin. If it ever tarnishes, our Lifetime Color Warranty replaces it free.
How long does shipping take?
US orders arrive in 3–7 business days with tracking sent within 24–48 hours. Free shipping on orders over $65.
What if it doesn't fit or I don't love it?
30-day free returns and exchanges — no hoops, no restocking fees.
