The pendant is exactly as pictured and described. It comes on a chain, which I didn't care for because it is very light weight in my opinion for the size of the pendant. This didn't matter to me, however, because I have a rope chain that I intended on using in the first place. Shipping was perfect and the purchase went as expected. 4 stars because of the necklace in case people are not shopping only for the pendant as I was. Otherwise, I give the pendant itself 5 stars.
