I saw a similar necklace at my local jeweler only in 18 kt gold and stones. I couldn't justify spending that kind of money. While comparison shopping I found this necklace , took a chance and ordered. What a nice surprise. It's well made , excellent pricing and very believable. Someone at work noticed and asked if I had purchased it from the local jeweler, she had also admired it. I told her where I had purchased it and she also bought one, she also is very happy with her purchase.I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the description but the chain adjusts from 16 to 18 inches which is also a nice option .
