"Not as pictured"





The quality is fine, but the pendant is flat...no contours and it is brown instead of the silver grey color. It just doesnt resemble a face as the photo shows. It is also bigger than it appears by quite a lot.

"Love it."





Great product. Really nice design. Good quality. Only downside is that its too small and its a little tight for my wrist. Im a bigger guy so its to be expected I guess.
