My birthstone is a sapphire, so if somebody ever gives me jewelry, it usually contains sapphires.  I have never gotten a synthetic jewel stone before, but this one caught my eye, so I got it for myself.  While not up to a real sapphire's beauty, it is very pretty.

The necklace is a good length and hangs just right--not too low or high, just below the collarbone--and the synthetic, pink sapphire has sparkly facets that catch the light well.  It is a subtle and delicate piece of jewelry.

It is also only $50, so this would be a great gift to buy if you are on a budget.  However, I would suggest looking into buying Swarovski jewelry if you are on a budget, too.  Some of it can be pricey, but you can find pretty pieces for around $50, and I LOVE how their crystals sparkle.  They're gorgeous!

Anyway, the only negative thing I can say about this necklace is that the chain is VERY thin and weak.  You have to handle it with extra care, and while wearing it, make sure you do not accidentally rip it.  The chain can be easily replaced, if needed.

I give it five stars despite the one flaw.
