Maybe it is better for occasional wear onlyI saw a NM VCA SA wearing the 10-motif Malachite necklace which she said she bought a long time ago, It's all dirty and scratched up. I wonder if she wears it non-stop.
It will be very interesting to find out how and if they can clean it .
If not I am definitely likely to just go for the long pendant which would be a shame as the colour really pops
