This is a lovely necklace that is just the size I like to wear.  The pendant is about the size of a nickle.  The Swarovski crystals are set in nice and tight in what appears to be solid silver or platinum.  It sparkles beautifully in the light.  Though the necklace is sparkly, it still looks cute with casual outfits, which I like since I can get more use out of it.  It is very solid and not cheap-feeling at all.

The chain itself is solid and has a neat chain-link style - gives it sort of a Celtic look when it's all together.

If you're looking for a simple but beautiful necklace for yourself or a gift that won't cost an arm and a leg but certainly doesn't feel or look cheap, I think you'll like this necklace.  It will be one that I will keep for years.
