I just ordered this necklace and got it today.  Let me tell you I LOVE it!! its so beautiful!!  Let me start off by saying that I thought  it would be bigger, it is on the small size...its about the size of my thumb nail.  But I am six feet tall so I have longer hands than most women...its about a little less than an inch tall.  The color on the picture shown is a little darker than what the true color is.  The color is on the gray side...like a smoke color.  But its cool cause i love gray!  if your thinking about getting this necklace but are not sure... get it!!!  I love it!  You won't regret it!!  I've looked around on eBay and amazon for other owl pendents and necklaces and none look as cute as this one!!
