Extremely darling, but….
The chain is so fragile! I gifted this to my daughter and immediately the 22 month old started grabbing to yank it off of my daughter's neck. After reading other reviews, I fear the chain will have a very short lifespan. Frustrating for the price….

Perfect gift for my Mom
The item is better than I expected. Chain is too short and there was lo option to order a longer chain. Otherwise good quality, workmanship and appearance. Adorable.

Beautiful design, cheap quality, short chain
Bought this as a Mother's Day gift for my wife. Upon arrival, I was underwhelmed. It was smaller than expected and the chain was incredibly short. My wife has an average size neck and this was practically a neck choker design. Not at all what was pictured. The chain is also very thin and seemed to be poor quality. Given these issues, and the relative high cost, I've decided to return it.
Response from merchant
Thank you for your message, and I’m so sorry to hear the necklace didn’t meet your expectations, especially since it was meant as a Mother’s Day gift. That’s certainly not the experience we hoped to deliver. We work to be transparent with each item's size.. The measurements for the Mama Bear Necklace are listed on our page as 18" L. We’ve received many positive comments on it, with no trend in issues. I’m sorry that it wasn’t a great fit for your recipient.

Compliments daily
Received as a gift from my BFF after I raved about hers. I've received compliments almost daily. I sleep & shower with it on. Rarely take it off. It doesn't tarnish. It's so fun!

The woman who can have anything
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter in law who has 3 little boys. I'm always looking for unusual and unique gifts for her. Uncommon Goods usually fits the bill for that.

Looks great with impressive craftsmanship.
Great gift for my wife to have a symbol of love between her and all her bear cubs. She absolutely loves it. Looks amazing with nice craftsmanship. A little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for given the amount of time, skill and materials used to craft this.

My wife absolutely loves this necklace.
This was a gift for my wife. She's a proud momma bear to our kids and a bunch of their friends and this necklace is a perfect expression of that. She absolutely loves it. Highly recommend for the Momma Bears in your life.

I ordered the mama bear and 3 cubs necklace. Does the material tarnish or it it gets wet, ruin the metal? Thanks
Verified reply from Valerie
The metals are prone to tarnish if not properly cared for, however, it can be easily removed with cleaning. It would not be permanently damaged.
