I must say that I don't know a thing about jewelry, so, this short review is from the point of view of someone who bought this item following the pictures and general reviews... The product is nice, it comes in a cheap soft box, which is not as bad as you might think with the word cheap. The crystal is shiny with a nice soft blue color, just take a look to the pic I uploaded, I tried to make it look the most real possible so you can appreciate how the product looks, since most of the pictures are enhanced with photoshop for this kind of products. Happy with the product :)
