I was so excited to get this necklace, since I plan on wearing it for my wedding. However, when I opened the package, I was pretty disappointed. The silver backing is off-center and all of the silver parts, including the entire chain, are really tarnished and even dirty, and seem to be very worn. I expected it to be brand new, and it certainly doesn't seem to be. The crystal also looks pretty cheap. Also, the extender on the chain is almost 4.5 inches long, so I might have to find some way to shorten that. However, I still plan on wearing it for my wedding, I'll just have to find some kind of way to clean it up. I do think it's a beautiful necklace, regardless. And the seller had very quick and efficient shipping. The packaging may have been a little overboard, but I'd prefer that as opposed to not good enough. But with all this extra work that I'm going to have to go through makes me feel like I overpaid.
