I was shopping for Celtic knot items when this beauty caught my eye. Extremely shiny and it didn't appear to be a flat stamped piece. I kept going back to look at it and decided to take a chance and order it. I was so pleased to see that it looks exactly as it appears in the photo. There is definitely not a stamped look - the front of the intricate knots are slightly raised and rounded, giving the impression of a more costly piece. To best describe the size is to compare it to a quarter. I'm really pleased with rhe pendant and was delighted with the price.
