Lovely necklace. I have ridden horses for many years (26!) and this just adds a touch of glamor to every outfit I wear. I've never took it off since buying it over 7 months ago, I know I shouldn't but i've been swimming, paddle boarding and all sorts of activities and its not tarnished one bit. The couple of scratches its gained just adds to that lustre of silver creating a forever timepiece for my love for all things horsey! - thank you.
