My husband purchased this pendant for me upon my request.  I love the symbolism of the Tree of Life.  However, I feel that for the price, I was a little dissapointed.  When you turn the pendant over, it is "hallow" in the back; not a flat solid surface I would have expected.  And, for the price, you still have to buy a chain which quickly makes it at least a $50.00 investment.  I do like the design and am still satisfied, but I just feel for the price one would expect a little more.  I will say, in fairness, I have received at least one compliment.  This pendant definitley needs the right chain to set it off.
