I got this set on a lightning deal. I am a bit surprised at how much I actually like it. The chain is by no means heavy duty, but will work just fine as long as it isn't tugged on by a certain four year old I have...I have gotten much more expensive necklaces from jewelry stores that were close in strength. The earrings are nice sized and quite sparkly...definately would recommend this set for the low price. These are not real diamonds, and the set won't become part of an inheritance, but these are fun and sparkly peices and I like sterling silver being plated with platinum.
