Bought as a present for my mother.  Haven't given it to her yet, but I know she will love it.  It is a beautiful stone, nicely cut, with a rich red color and shine. The silver setting is subtle yet lovely. The stone size is just right: large enough to be noticed but not too big to overwhelm. Wish I had one for myself. I have bought other items from Peora and have been pleased.  Their prices are good and their jewelry is very pretty.  I would recommend this necklace to anyone and recommend you try Peora.
