This necklace is much nicer than it appears.  It doesn't look at all flimsy or cheap.  I bought one for a Christmas gift, and I liked it so much when it arrived, I ordered another one for someone else.  It is perfect for a teenage girl gift, as it is small enough and very plain and simple, but the stone is really lovely and looks like it's of good quality.  The chain is also fine, considering the size of the necklace.  I wouldn't have wanted anything heavier for this piece.  It is a good value for the price.
