Like a couple of other reviewers, I didn't read the product description carefully enough to realize that the pendant is not made of silver. "Silver" in the description refers only to the color, not the metal. So this is basically junk jewelry and it's definitely overpriced for junk jewelry. That said, it does look pretty and it's nicely packaged in a red fabric pouch, so I can't go all the way down to one star with my review. I just wish the product description would have explained exactly what the pendant is made of.
