I love it. The size of the eagle is pretty good in my opinion because I like for the nopal to be on my frente. At my place of work, I get mistaken for asian/ Asian mix which is great but because I translate in Spanish the people that actually need my help don't ever come to me. So this has helped others feel comfortable to ask me things in Spanish which is literally my job. I've only had it for about a week and I've showered in it once. I'm going to be honest and say I'm not too sure if I can or not use it as a daily but I'll just find out. It looks just as bright as when I first got it so far. As a Mexican, I am very proud to show off where I come from and this necklace is a very cute way to let everyone know just how proud I am without having to get a tattoo (which is not allowed in my work place.) Definitely buy this for your Mexican friends, it would be an amazing gift. I am already looking to get another gorgeous necklace.
