My wife is quite happy with this bauble. It's a competently executed design with a large central stone surrounded by clear stones--not as sparkly as diamonds, but a good contrast with the pretty pink of the stone. The stone is mounted in a hollow metal box which tends to get twisted around backwards on occasion. Construction appears good, and as long as care is taken with the chain should last. My wife would prefer a thicker chain, but it is what it is.

The synthetic sapphire is clear lovely and large. In many ways nicer than what someone would likely dig out of a mine.

Why four stars instead of five? I'm making a subjective design judgement that a more elegant or more beautiful mount would have made this piece more striking. Still, a nice piece of bling which my wife will often wear.
