This pendant necklace is exquisite.  The pendant itself is large but lightweight, thus making it very comfortable to wear, as it lies lies flat against the the throat.  The scrollwork is just as you see in the picture, and the pendant is quite shiny. The cord necklace that accompanies it is very comfortable, and it has an extender which allows you to wear it at 16" to 20". I think that this was money very well spent.  I love it!  Additionally, the delivery was more than speedy, as I received it the day before it was due to arrive--quite a nice surprise!
