I received this pendant within only a few days of ordering it, and it really is beautiful.  The quality and workmanship are very nice, and it has a good weight.  The chain is sturdy but pretty.  Although the pendant is fairly dainty, it is still very striking--just a nice eye-catcher!  The starfish is rather unique, and when I saw it previously I knew my daughter would like it (even though she is very picky); she loves it!  It was so pretty I decided to get one for myself, but I returned mine after I decided that this type of pendant is for younger women.  Just my opinion...  (However, I think that if the pendant had been a true star-shape rather than a starfish, I probably would have kept it.)  Highly recommended!  I returned the pendant with no problem and was issued a prompt refund by Amazon.
