This is just a beautiful necklace.  I purchased one for my mother for Christmas, and liked it so much I am ordering another for me.

If you like filigree jewelry, you will find this to be nicely detailed and very eye catching.  The garnets aren't the highest quality, but they were clear, bright, and very pretty.  As some other reviewers have noted, the chain is very delicate and thin.  Aesthetically, I love a thin chain... but it could easily break if it snagged on a piece of clothing.

As another reviewer mentioned, the backside of the pendant does show the manufacturing.  This is clearly a mold-cast piece rather than a handmade one.  At the price, I did not expect it to have been handmade.  The front side was properly polished and I did not note any visible defects.
