I bought this necklace as a present for my step-sister last year for Christmas/her birthday (in early January), and saw her wearing it this Thanksgiving.  When I mentioned how glad I was to see she liked it, she told me she is *constantly* getting compliments on it!

I will say however that it seems absurd to claim this is usually a $200 necklace as it is nowhere near THAT nice, and that claim alone is the reason for the docked star.  It is beautiful though, and a great size and length.  I recommend it, especially for someone with a January birthday.
