The necklace looks lovely at first, but after a few wears I noticed the plating dull where I’d sprayed perfume. Customer service shared care tips, which helped, yet an exchange wasn’t offered since the item had been worn. Fair enough, just not what I hoped. For the price, the sparkle is there, but you really do need to avoid lotions and water. I’ll keep it for occasional outfits, not everyday use, to stretch the finish longer.
