This is a beautiful pendant, and a fine value.  I am impressed by the size of this emerald.  It is large enough to be noticed (but not so large as to look gaudy).  Some pendants are so small that their shape and presentation in the metal go unappreciated.  That is not the case with this pendant.  The color is excellent, a nice deep green, but not so dark as to hide the color.  The pendant comes in a jewelry box that presents it quite nicely as a gift.

This stone being a simulated emerald does not bother me, nor does it take away from the look of the pendant.  Jewelry is meant to be worn and look nice.  The quality matters, but I could care less if the stone was created in a lab or mined from a rock.  To me this just means I can get a great product for a great price.

I was a bit hesitant purchasing an item that had no reviews, but based on the seller's good reviews for similar items I went ahead with the purchase. I am glad I did.  My wife was very happy with this gift.  Hopefully this review can aid other shoppers.
