I got this for my mom for one of her Mother's Day gifts. Each leaf represents one of her four kids and the heart is symbolic of her, binding us all together. (Because, honestly, I don't dig my brother that much and if it wasn't for mom, I'd disown him all together.) Anyway, the charm is a perfect size, weighty but still delicate. The silver and gold both have a nice, authentic shine. Unfortunately, the chain is different than what's in the picture. It's a cheap-looking box chain and not a link chain. I'll find a different chain for the charm before I give it as a gift.
