The pendant is truly lovely and I love the way it catches the light whether outside or in a room. It's not too big and gaudy, but not so small that you can't see it easily. It goes well with many colors and is put together well. I do believe I will replace the chain it came with immediately. The chain is very thin and I know it will break easily. I fear it will break when I don't realize it and I'll lose the pendant. The thin, dainty chain looks pretty, but it isn't going to hold up to even normal use. I love the colors and design of the pendant. The gold plating really compliments the stones.
