My boyfriend and I were a long distance for almost 2 years. We saw each other once per month and nightly via skype. I gave him this necklace on Christmas and asked him to put it on his rear-view mirror in his car. I did the same with mine. It always made me feel good to look up and see a reminder of my boyfriend. We would take pictures of the necklaces in difference locations and send them to each other. For example: I took a photo of the neckalce at the beach, at my parents' house, at the gym .... etc. It helped bridge the gap between us in times of loneliness. The stainless steel is high quality and really beautiful to see. The man's necklace is "manly" enough for my ex-Navy boyfriend. I'd highly recommend this set for long distance couples. :)
