I got this from my husband for Christmas.  It was very pretty and delicate.  Some might say the chain is too delicate, but anything heavier would ruin the overall look of the necklace. The stone is very dark, almost blue-black in color.  I'm very happy with it and would recommend it.  I might have been more pleased if the stone were just a bit on the bluer side. Regardless, it will go well with many different types of outfits and colors.
