I purchased this for a relative and was very pleased with it upon arrival.  While it is not the most sturdy piece of jewelry, it is certainly a beautiful necklace and at a great price.  I expected that I may have to buy a different chain (based on other reviews) but the chain is actually quite pretty and delicate.  I included the parable of the mustard seed with the necklace when it was given and the whole presentation received rave reviews.
