i bought this for my 2 little girls and i am so pleased with the quality and appearance.  perfect for little girls (probably not so for an adult -- seems a little 'youthful').  also, for the price it seems like a fair purchase.  there were many options out there for enameled jewelry, silver-plated, or pieces that use crystals -- and many sold for as much or more than what this necklace sells for.  i would rather give my girls sterling silver with real stones for the price.  i am very happy.  another great purchase at amazon!
