This is a very pretty simulated coral necklace. The detail on the rose is very nice and doesn't look cheap or childish. There is a light sheen to the piece and I purchased the Simulated Coral Rose Flower stud earrings from Naked Jewelry and they match very nicely (the pictures look like there is more color variance than there actually is). The chain leaves something to be desired but I just put it on a sterling silver fairly substantial chain I already had and I think it looks even nicer. I do like that the chain it came with does not have the adjustable length back, those always feel very cheap to me and seem to really scream costume jewelry in a bad way; the bail is also rather pretty with a nice shell looking detail. I wore this and the above mentioned earrings with a lime green/white floral 50's style sundress to a wedding and it looked very nice and thoroughly retro. My only complaint is the bail detached from the rose but this is my own fault for letting my 2 year old wear it for a little while! It was an easy fix with a pair of needle nose pliers to squeeze shut the bail prong back into the hole of the rose. Overall I'm pleased with the piece especially for the price; it was much nicer than anything I saw in stores and less expensive, plus more authentically retro looking. I got the necklace a lot sooner than the projected date, which I was really happy for so I could wear it to the wedding!
