The feathers are realistic looking and a little larger than I had envisioned, which I like. The length of the chain is shorter than I like. I measured it and it's 17" long, which is a little shorter then the American standard of 18". I didn't know exactly how long it was going to be because they only put the metric measurement in the description. The feathers hang very nicely together and are pleasing. I, also, have the matching earrings, which I love and have had for about 2 years. They're all good looking and high quality.
