(Please refer to the photos I've posted to get a general visual on how these work with different colored tops).
I bought 4 sets of these, 3 for family members (tweens and teens) and 1 for me (oldish), and it was a great purchase. These are exactly as described by the seller and it was a great purchase for our wardrobes. There are many things that we will be able to wear these with, but there are a few outfits that we won't be able to wear these with because of the dark background (with sparkly flecks). The pendants are rather large and chunky, (rough measurements of smallest pendant being about 1", largest pendant about 2", see photos for general idea), but these are eclectic, funky and fun and can be worn with a variety of outfits. One probably couldn't wear these well with a delicate or pastel outfit without these clashing, in my opinion. Although the necklaces' cords and ribbons each have clasps, suprisingly, the loop from which they hang are large enough to pull them (ribbons or cords) out and interchange them with the other necklaces' provided cords/ribbons or even replace them with a nice metallic chain, ribbon, cord or whatever of your choice. These can make a solid-colored topped outfit more interesting and add some flair to a tired wardrobe or jewelery collection with a variety of colors and designs to choose from this set of 8 necklaces. I am considering getting a brown or black silken cord necklace and hanging one of these pendants from it from time to time. From preteens, teens and much much older, these have been well received and enjoyed by each of us.
We like these so much, that I think they would make great gifts for others as well. I am considering buying another set and giving one individual necklace to each of the guests as a lovely party favor at for one of our daughter's upcoming birthday parties.
