The pendent on this necklace is very pretty and sparkly. It's also very light, which can be an advantage. It doesn't quite look like the photo - mine has more of a yellow tint (or the yellow tint is more pronounced). The silver chain is very thin, but nice. I don't think it's a very classy necklace (a little too bling), but it's fine for casual situations.

I was specifically looking for a necklace that didn't have any metal in it (I think I'm allergic), so I bought this necklace to get the pendent to put on a black silk corded necklace. The hoop that the pendent hangs from is very narrow, so I had a lot of difficulty getting it over the clasps of the black silk necklace (getting it off of the silver chain was easy). I ended up taking my jeweler's pliers to it to widen it, and then I was able to slip it over the ends. The silver hoop is not soldered together, so I accidentally pulled it off of the crystal a few times. This might mean that it will wear out over a long time when it's jerked repeatedly, but probably it's fine. I'm ignoring my special requirements for rating this 3 stars.
