The picture of this necklace is stunning, my expectations were set high. When I received it I was disappointed. It's still a pretty necklace but just not AS pretty as I thought it was going to be. Part of the problem is in the picture you see the pretty scroll work. The red glass is dark and light doesn't penetrate it once on. Imagine the picture but with a dark, red heart and no scroll work in the background. Now that I have it, I would say its not worth the fifty its selling for, much less the seventy MSRP. It feels sturdy enough but the silver is not as shiny as I would like and the glass is just too dark to show off the backing.
