This is the 2nd time I have bought the yellow gold name necklaces. The first 2 I bought were for my own daughters over a year ago. The gold has not tarnished or worn off at all, even with showering or swimming etc. Now the 2nd lot are gifts for my nieces as they love my daughters so much. I can’t recommend these necklaces more highly, every aspect of them is perfect! They are worth every penny!!!! Love, love, love them!!!!! Thank you Belle Fever!!!!
