This necklace is really beautiful. The chain is not that great, a little cheesy for the price of this piece of jewelry, but it is ok. I think a darker chain would look nice with it. The turtle is gorgeous. It is very delicate and a lot prettier to see in person. The photo makes the piece look a little darker than it is. The underside of the turtle is interesting. It is a small carved piece of silver that has enough openings that you can see through the hollow area of the shell. Really lovely for me.
