This was going to be a birthstone present for my daughter. It says it ships in 2-4 months but I ordered anyway and it shipped in two weeks! Only problem was that the two small stones looked more clear than purple and the the two large amethyst stones only looked purple in the center and clear otherwise. We are returning it and trying a different necklace. It's not worth the risk to possibly wait months for shipment, especially if the stones aren't purple again. One more note: you can't really see the diamond in the center the way you do in the magnified picture here. Otherwise it seemed well made and the chain was nice too.
