I very much enjoy layering this necklace alongside my other Louise Carter necklace. Itโs beautiful and I love how I can leave them on through my workout, swimming, showering, etc. knowing that they will not tarnish. Itโs perfect for my โon-the-goโ self. I look forward to purchasing more jewelry from Louise Carter!

My two favorite pieces , donโt take them off at all. I added my cross to the beads necklace and itโs perfect. Quality is A1 , and advertisement is 100% accurate, i use them n the shower, pool and beach and nothing happens, no change in color , its brilliance still like the first day. Best jewelry ever. P.S I ordered more ๐

I love being able to wear my Louise Carter pieces without worrying about them fading like costume jewelry does. I've lost fine jewelry before because I didn't want to take it off while being active, so I appreciate that this looks great and is easy to replace if a piece goes missing.

Love this simple necklace. Goes with everything and looks super stylish!! Have only had it a couple weeks but have worn it just about everyday! Hoping it holds true that it wonโt tarnish. Such a reasonable price.

The color of all the products I bought are yellow. Not like gold yellow but so yellow you can tell itโs fake.

I havenโt given this necklace as gifts yet. There is a group of 13 of us spending a week in Hawaii. I love the look of this necklace and then when I saw the name Malaga, I decided to build a theme around the name. Tying it with a deep red nail polish, called Malaga ( by Opi) and a deep sweet red wine from the city of Malaga. Although I couldnโt find the wine, I did find a deep red sweet wine. Canโt wait to give these gifts!
This is my favorite piece Out of all of them, the thickness, the color itโs beautiful
Bought this beauty for myself. Love it!!
