I bought this Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia CZ Snowflake Pendant Necklace for my Mother for Christmas. She has always wanted a snowflake necklace to wear around Christmas time and when I saw this I knew she would love it, and she did. The pendent has a lot more shine to it than I expected for this price. It is very noticeable, in a good way. It shines like snow does when the sun hits it. Very pretty. The chain is 18in. Perfect size for this pendent. It is very well made. It doesn't look cheap at all. If I had known it was going to be this beautiful I would have gotten me one, and I might yet.
