This looks really cheap, that's about all I can say... I am not at all happy with it. I'm not even sure it is really carved bone.. the rope material doesn't at all look like it does in the photo. Spend the extra $2 and get this one http://www.amazon.com/Makau-Shark-Wooden-Necklace-Sharks/dp/B001VB87E8/ref=pd_sim_misc_3 which got the same day. It is gorgeous and well made.
