My original was from a gold heart shaped pendant - emblem on front, engraved on back - but it would tarnish within hours of being polished. That company replaced the first one, but the replacement tarnished worse, and they would not replace it a second time.

Don't know what made me change but pretty quickly started wearing literally 24/7, on my 2nd one in past 20yrs. Plain silver MedicAlert for me, I consider it innocuous & don't even think about it.
