Sometimes the photos don't do a product justice - but sometimes, as in the case of this item, they do it too much justice. I was slightly disappointed in the size/quality of the product, however my sister-in-law (the one this gift was purchased for) absolutely loved it. Not sure what more I was expecting, but I was just a little let down.

One of the issues was in the packaging. The pendent came in a velvet bag, which was nice, but was then placed in a blue box that looked old and used. I ended up repackaging it to give as a gift in a jewelry box - also as a means of protecting the fine chain that came with it so it wouldn't get tangled before she opened the gift.

Still - she was very pleased and loved the gift even if I was a little disappointed in the presentation and the actual product vs. the online photo/description.
