I love pearls and this large, black (peacock black, great descriptive name!) pearl is quite pretty. The picture makes it seem as if you can really see the heart shape, but when you wear this, it seems to tilt forward quite a bit, which makes the heart shape more difficult to make out. I always have the sense it is not laying correctly...I can get it into position, but it seems to quickly tilt forward. I replaced the chain with something nicer and that upgrades the look a bit. If the odd angle of the pendant will bug you, then you will probably not like this necklace, but if the pearl is the main attraction for you (and not the heart shape), you might be satisfied. I think it is worth it, just for the lovely black pearl. It is a LARGE pearl, by the way, note the size in the description.
