My daughter (age 15) was very happy with this set.  I can't say how it will hold up in the long run, but it's got a fantastic look for the costume she is putting together, and will be fun costume jewelry after that. Great price fot the necklace/earring set, and when we ordered it came with free supersaver shipping, so that was a nice bonus/savings.  The colors are authentic to the steam punk look.  Appears to be sturdy.  Very happy with this purchase!!!
