This is a cute necklace. I bought the blue one and then several months later I bought it in red. The feathers are a nice accent if you like them. They are sturdy and attached firmly to the metal loops. After I wore it a couple times I realized my taste didn't prefer the feathers so I pulled them and the charms off with some pliers. The metal accents in gold and pewter make the necklace more versatile to be worn with my other earrings. The three beads are covered in a fabric ribbon and this is where the necklace could be improved. The ribbon frays at the cut end and the manufacturers should have found a way to seal the ends and secure them firmly to the bead then it would be much better. This is why I deducted one star. I will try something like glue or maybe clear nail polish to seal them.
