The whole experience was nice. Opening the oyster and waiting to see what color pearl i'd gotten (it ended up being peach colored). the pear itself is quite small, it's not perfectly round, but it's charming. the chain is a nice touch, it's twirly, and although my hair gets caught in it a lot, it looks very nice and fancy. a lot of people have compliment me on it and i wear it a lot. however, lately it's been turning dark (the necklace). i guess it must be from my perfume, or because it's a cheap material. i'm ordering a new one to replace it, just cause the first one was so nice, it's worth it.
