while it is not as bright a red as displayed in the picture it is quite red. it borders a chocolate and red but it is still beautiful. My husband got this for me and i am very happy with it! The chain, while a bit cheap feeling, is sparkly and really catches the eye. The length of the chain is perfect. I must admit the price was a bit much, i would not pay more than 15$ for anything like this again. but overall very happy. i would recommend this this product!
