The necklace that arrived looks very much like what is pictured except for the fact that it's quite a bit darker. The colour looks like a deep burgundy. In some lighting, it appears black against my skin. Unfortunately, some of the detailing is lost in its darkness. I admit that I am a bit disappointed as I was expecting something with a brighter colour. However, it is still a very lovely necklace of good size.

The necklace looks very nice when paired with the Sterling Silver Marcasite & Garnet Colored Glass Tear Drop Earrings.
