I love this necklace.  Yes, it is gaudy, it is big, it is tacky, but it is decadently tacky.  It is so ghetto that it hurts.  But it feels so good to wear.  It is made for daring women who genuinely enjoy feeling like a trashy queen.  Let's face it, we can not all be regal queens.  But we certainly truly are queens - we are the queens of our lives, of our homes, of our families, of our men.  It is a great necklace, well made, sturdy, heavy, good quality, and very nice realistic gold color.  I really enjoy this necklace.  When I wear it, I look at myself in the mirror and I smile.  If you enjoy being the queen of your life, I recommend it.
