I'm really pleased with the necklace. The color and clarity of the stones are better than I expected, and the necklace is lovely and delicate--the center stone is a stunning. Keep in mind that the product picture is enlarged to show detail--the actual pendant is quite small, about a cm in width. For me, this isn't a problem. The size and setting make the necklace a versatile piece I can use to dress up a casual outfit or wear to work and occasions. The gem's hue is a true hot pink/fuschia--very vivid and bright. My one complaint is that although the chain is pretty, it looks very delicate. I haven't had any problems with it, but I plan on being careful not to break it.
