This necklace isn't as big as the other monogram necklaces you would see. It's small but big enough that you can still see the monogram design. I like the way the necklace hooks on both sides of the initials so that way it lays flat on my neck. It's extremely shiny and doesn't look like it was just $8.99! The only problem is that the rings link the pendant and chain could not closed evenly, the chain broke off after wearing several days but it was super easy to reconnect. I would recommend these necklaces for teens and adults.
