I’d had my eye on this necklace for nearly a year before making the purchase; I loved knowing that I was ordering a quality piece that I would wear forever. It’s eye catching without being showy. I will add that it’s a little heavier than I’d anticipated—I prefer weightless jewelry, but given the style and composition, it makes sense that there is some weight to it. I wear it many days a week & sometimes more, and I have to remind myself there are other necklaces I should get some use out of!
