I bought this necklace for myself thinking I would love it and was very so-so about it when I received it. I love the chain, the sterling silver and marcasite that the heart sits in, and the size of the necklace. It's definitely a bold piece and something that will get noticed. However, for the price, the stone itself was not up to standards. It is very "blah" so to speak. There's nothing special about it. It looks like just plain glass or even plastic. It's very thin as well. Everything else about the necklace was quality but the heart itself was just not. If I had spent a little less on this piece, I probably would have kept it and worn it, but I did end up returning it.
