I fell in love with this necklace long before I ordered it--this little guy is irresistible! I've been on an octopus kick lately, and this totally fits the bill. Lightning fast shipping, arriving several days before the estimated arrival. It's more antiqued and less shiny than the one pictured (which I actually prefer) and the chain is much longer than I had anticipated. Not a negative at all, but I thought I'd mention it for other Amazoners. For the price especially, it's a beautiful signature piece. Having only worn it once, I've already received compliments. Just buy it already!
