Well...
It is what it is. Not a forever piece of jewelry, definitely for a younger teen to enjoy and eventually set aside for more grown up stuff. So for it's "Sweet 16" purpose, it is fun. If it gets lost no big deal. If it tarnishes no big deal. Cute and well made. I only wish we had a choice in the stone because I would've liked her birthstone, so, I did have to go on my own to replace the pearl with the correct birthstone, which brought the final price paid quite higher than I really wanted to pay for a gift to someone's child whom I hardly know.  It make sense to me if it's a "Sweet 16" it should most definitely come with the choice of a birthstone.
