I expected better quality.  I bought it for my daughter as I have the real deals from my grandmother.  I will be keeping it as my daughter liked it and I liked that it is a piece of jewelry that has individuality to it.

Cons:
 - The gold is much darker than the photo advertised (i will get my son to put my own photo up).
 - The "drop" part of the pendant only has 2 rings (which is what the photo has) but mine does not seem to drop as long or as nicely as the one in the photo
 - Like the other review said, the gems around the pendant are not so good but they are not glaring in your face so I am not so concerned with that - my biggest issue was the color of the gold.

Pros:
 - The size is very nice - not too big or too small - and it hangs at a nice length (and can go longer too)
 - The porcelain rose is nice and that's why i bought this necklace.
 - The clasp and necklace size are nice - and the necklace rings are big enough to fit into the clasp and hang properly inside it
 - I have genuine jewelry from this era from my grandmother and I liked their individuality - it's a conversation piece.
 - It did come with a box

I am keeping it as the pros outweigh the cons.
