I must say...I am really bummed out about this necklace. When I got it in the mail, it came in a nice box and looked beautiful. Very cool for a Buddhist. It is substantial, nice and heavy. You could tell it was not cheaply made. However, I have had it now for a month, and I am now very upset by it. It has not turned my skin green, but it surely has changed colors itself. It has gotten all dark and dirty-looking in color. And the chain has oxidized too; it is like a dirty bronze color. If I could upload a picture of what it looks like now, I would. I have cleaned it thoroughly in liquid tarnish cleaner twice in the past month, which only seemed to help about 70% each time, but it has quickly gotten all tarnished again. I am really bummed out. I loved this when it first arrived; now I am a bit embarrassed to wear it. Even though we Buddhists are supposed to accept that everything will grow old, sick and die, and that we should probably apply this acceptance to inanimate objects as well, I'm still bummed out.

I loved the talisman but the one big problem was that the chain turns the skin GREEN!!!!!!!

The pendant is gorgeous and feels substantial. Quick delivery and the product was delivered as promised. The chain is a little long (for me) so the pendant hangs at about breastbone level, but it's so lovely I haven't bothered to find a new chain.

This is a great pendant. It's beautiful and the piece is substantial. But, there is one flaw: The colours change. I've only had mine for about 5 days and already it's made noticeable changes. The parts that are supposed to be yellow-ish in colour are becoming a kind of greasy green. It's as if the paint begins to dissapear (oxidation?. Kind of like when you have a vibrant paint, and you scratch it, and though the paint can still be seen, it's kinda dull. The weird part is that it's happening in the middle-ish areas of each space, so the middle part of every section (any section with lines surrounding, the 8 yellow triangular parts especially) has becomes a slightly different colour than its sides. The edges of the colours are turning more and more like the colours next to it, so the piece is becoming duller and duller. When I first got it, it a vibrant and detailed, however it's becoming dull and messy now. Although, it does seem like after a little while it might get to a stage where it won't change anymore and hopefully will look good.

Anyone know a way of fixing this? or cleaning it, if that's even possible?

Everything else about the necklace is great.

I love the necklace, it really is great! It gets a lot of wear and tear, and it takes a beating! I have a rough job, but it's good to get undressed at the end of a long day and see it sill there. It's had a slight discoloration due to sweat and maybe because I never take it off, but that adds character to it. Now, no one has one like mine! I highly recommend this piece because all that I've been through since I've had it, the necklace seems to have made things better, and my missions more successful. Coincidence? You tell me!

I purchased this necklace nearly a year ago, and I still wear it every day. I've heard people complain about it turning their skin green, and I can say I've never had that problem with mine. What I find to be interesting is the large number of people who say "it's not worth that much money" or "it doesn't look as good as I'd thought it did". As a Buddhist myself, I purchased this pendant to remind myself of my faith, and the things I hold dear, not to try and show off to the world my religious choices. So if you wish to purchase this pendant for your own spiritual reasons, I think it's wonderful. If you're looking to brag and show off, or get a flashy necklace, this isn't for you.

dont get me wrong, this is a nice item. BUT the chain is CHEAP and turns your neck GREEN after a few days. The picture itself is starting to wear off after about 3 weeks. The ONLY time I wear it is during the day and I DONT wear it in the shower. The back of it is wearing off a lot.
again, this is cool. BUT NOT WORTH the money you pay for it at all. May if it was half the price it would be ok. BUT DONT ship with the cheap chain.

This necklace is great. It is heavy! That is a good thing b/c as it hangs on my neck then I am reminded of the eight-fold path and helps to maintain right view, right speech, etc. It looks great out of the box but after a few weeks or a month it will fade. The dingy state obscures the wheel from the background. BUT.. I accidentally forgot the necklace in my pant pocket and it made its way through the wash and dryer. When it came out, the insert had detached from the backing so I had to glue it back into the backing. However, the insert or wheel looked brand new! Vibrant and clear just like I'd pulled it out of the box. The chain is not very durable however... the clasp broke. For that reason, only four stars.. but still worth it to me!

I love this talisman very much. Since I have worn it, it has changed colors via oxidation. This chemical process caused a high degree of skin irritation. Seems all better now though. I also believe I'd like a higher quality chain.
