The pendant is neither as small nor the chain quite as delicate (read: fragile) as I had expected from reading other reviews.  Both are decent.  The setting looks more like costume jewelry than I had anticipated, considering the price, but it seems to be sturdily made, and the design is still clever and eye catching.  From a distance it is just a pretty sparkle.  Up close it's a conversation starter and I think will be well received as a gift.  I have ordered a second one.
