"It is very sturdy, great material. You glue the glass vial in so it wont wiggle around and potentially break. The pendant is absolutely beautiful. The chain i bought in addition is also very sturdy, i was worried it would be a weak chain but it's also great quality. When my necklace didn't come right away i emailed the company and they responded right away letting me know the shipment period and it came within it. They put my mind at ease right away."
