I am so disappointed. Ordered the 18 inch and received the 16 inch. Paid extra to have it overnight-ed. Boyfriend bought it as a gift and wanted to wear it on a date tomorrow night. It's a CHOKER! the pendant itself is indeed 1 inch and pretty. I wanted the necklace for the font and that did not disappoint. I also liked that it appeared dainty. In actuality, it is closer to flimsy. I would have preferred an exchange with the correct size overnight-ed to me but instead was offered a refund. So, that is the plan. Customer service was polite but that helps me none with being able to wear the necklace on date night.
