The pendant itself is very beautiful, as well as nice and solid and fairly heavy, but not too heavy, not so heavy its birhersome, heavy in a way that shows how well made it is and that it is made to last and if kept up could even become a family heirloom. My only problem is that I wish the chain was also white gold plated stainless steel or just plain silver rather than plated alloy which will likely tarnish quickly, so I may look for a new, better quality chain.
