I thought this pendant from Swarovski was very attractive when I viewed it online, but once it arrived, I was not so impressed. It has the look and feel of cheaper, department store style jewelry. If you are someone who normally wears cheaper items, then this is a pretty pendant, but if you are accustomed to fine jewelry, this would not be a good choice. Having said all that, the piece is nicely made and looks pretty from across the room. I have seen pendants with imitation stones that looked much more like the real thing than this pendant. I think the problem is the crystal to metal ratio. The crystals need to be a little chunkier.
