My wife loves filligree jewelry, so when I saw this pendant and chain, I bought it for her.  It's a lovely piece, and to my eye, looks much more expensive than it is.  However, as other reviewers have noted, its much darker than what is shown.  Under normal viewing conditions, you will not be able to see the filligree pattern on the back of the pendant.

I was attracted to the color shown in the picture, but when it arrived, I was slightly disappointed at how dark of a red the pendant actually was.  However, my wife (who hadn't seen the pictures on Amazon) is pleased with it, so if she's happy, I am.  Just be aware that it's not going to be such a bright ruby red as shown.
