The package arrives faster than I expected. The chain is not a solid faux gold but instead it is made of small beads of faux gold. The wiring of the necklace is a plastic string that occasionally sticks out at the back near the clasps. You can tell that it is made of cheap materials, but with the price you pay, it is reasonable. It is a beautiful statement piece. Don't expect it to last, however. If you are planning to wear it for the trend, I say go for it and buy it. Otherwise, if you are buying it for the sake of having a jewelry piece that lasts longer than few wear, don't buy it.
