I received this item and it said it was a prop replica. I believe it, the quality is good and the pieces are very well made. The box is nice and sturdy and the items are wearable, not cheep or gaudy. A bit expensive for this type of jewelry but I suspect the price is due to the popularity of the film and books and the maker took advantage of that by asking an inflated price. Worth about half what I paid, but the novelty is fun. I gave the set to my daughter who is a Twilight fan and she loves it!
