I ordered this for myself. I was nervous about ordering jewelry online without being able to see it, but the product description was very accurate as was the photo. Actually, it's a little prettier than the photo and you really can't tell how shiny it is. It has a nice weight and a solid feel. The chain is also shiny and looks like liquid silver. I can't say how well it will hold up as I've only had it for a few days, but it looks like I will be enjoying it for a long time. For the price (it comes with the chain) how can you beat it?
