The necklace is polished and has a high-shine finish and is treated to reduce tarnishing. The pendant measures 1.5" square, and the two pieces dangle freely with a silver bead between them. This necklace makes a great gift for any special occasion, especially Valentine's Day or for anyone who needs more <3 in their life. Read more.
