I was not expecting much since it is under eight bucks.  Originally I was looking for a cross pendant to wear on my already existing chain but for the price I thought I'd give this a try.  I figured the chain would be so non-existent I could just toss it.  Well, it looked better than I expected and could not bring myself to do it.  So instead I put it on my 9 year old daughter, she LOVED it!  The pendant is very pretty, the chain is fine but may not last long but again for the price, how can you go wrong?  I don't think the plated gold had a good tone to it and does not look fakey.  We'll see if it tarnishes over time or not.
