I bought this for a friend as a birthday gift, and she loved it. I had read some reviews saying that the necklace came tangled, but I didn't have that issue. When I first got it, it was as gorgeous as it is in the photo, the little gems in the middle were very shiny and didn't look dull. Not only is this super cute, but it's inexpensive, and who doesn't like something that is cute and not super pricey?
