This is the second locket that I purchased from LillaDesigns. I purchased the silver locket first for husband's mother. I bought a less expensive floating locket from a craft store for my husband's grandmother. Much to my dismay the craft store locket had tarnished within a few months. It looked awful! That is when I order a gold locket (to replace the poor quality locket) from LillaDesigns. I'm very happy with the quality of both necklaces. Plus fast shipping!!
