A dear friend of mine mentioned that she was looking for a silver necklace that was simple, yet would like it to have quite a bit of sparkle and perhaps a bead or two.  I purchased this item as a birthday gift for her and was very happy with how it looked when I checked it before gift wrapping.  Not only was it attractive, it had a good weight (not flimsy) along with a sturdy clasp and had a nice, velvet bag for storage purposes.  My friend was thrilled with it and said she had never seen one as nice.  i had to agree, so I will soon be ordering another for myself along with a matching bracelet.
