I'm always wary about getting jewelry online because you never know quite what you're getting.  Sure the description is there with dimensions and materials and all the pertinent info, but it's still a risk.  I've been burned before but this time I was actually pleased with what I received.

The necklace is made out of silver in a round shape, with a swirly "tree of life" design, complete with large cubic zirconia stone in the middle.  It's on an 18" chain which falls comfortably past the collar bone and the chain is extremely dainty.  The pendant itself isn't that large, even though I knew the dimensions I actually expected something a little bigger, but as is it looks delicate and feminine.

This piece was so much lighter than I expected it to be though.  At first I thought it was made out of plastic because it just didn't feel like it had any substance.  It didn't impact the design any, but it was unexpected.  However, I mainly go for cheap jewelry so that isn't anything new to me.  Although this piece isn't cheap by any means when compared to other jewelry pieces.  And it comes in a velvet bag within a little jewelry box, so that's kind of nice if you're planning on giving it as a gift.

As for wearability, I've been wearing it nonstop for about three weeks and it's held up well.  I'm never very gentle with my jewelry but fortunately this one has been able to take the abuse.  I'm not saying that you should run it over with a car or anything, but it's not going to break if you drop it.

I think it's a little pricey but it is a pretty piece.  Someone who is fond of the tree of life symbol or circular pendants would probably be very pleased with this necklace.
