For those of you who live in Australia like myself and want to get an item from here as a gift for someone, I’d suggest to get it a month in advance. I don’t know if the gold is real cause I just opened mine today and found it strange how light it was, but It’s a great sentimental gift and I highly recommend it regardless. Just be careful to not wet it just in case. Also, the length is 25cm. Hope this helped👍
