I have bought this for my daughter for Christmas. I opted for 9ct gold. the 'colour' is beautiful. I went for the Carrie style writing and I am happy...hope daughter will be too. she is 11, and I went for the 14inch length as advised for children. should I have gone for 16inch? I am not sure..i will find out on xmas day I suppose. my thoughts are that ths is supposed to sit fairly high, so I hope its all correct. I don't trust anyone online without feedback, which is why I am taking the time to write this. I am very picky and will shop around. I feel that this is a good product. it arrived when they said and is beautifully packaged. I really hope my equally picky daughter will be happy xmas day....I will update on length if that option exists? thanks. Lorraine
