I purchased this as one of my daily Quick Pick deals and I was surprised at how much nicer it was than I think it's given credit for. The only negative I have about this is the chain, BUT not about the arrangement or how it lays, only about it being too fine for a pendant this large. If you take a close look at the picture you can see how the chain is looped around the pendant, this solves all the problems I thought I might have. I am expecting the matching earrings to arrive today and I can't wait to wear them out!

This piece does look better than the photos and was larger than expected. However, the Figure Eight piece doesn't have a place for the chain, so the chain is simply wrapped around the Figure Eight itself. This shortens the chain and means that there is no "give" in the chain itself. I plan on keeping the piece, but taking it to a jeweler to see if something can be added so that the chain works. Unfortunately, now that I look at the photo closely I can see it.

Like others have mentioned, the way that the chain loops around the pendant is less than ideal. The pendant flips over a lot more than I would hope for. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it though. The length is perfect for a v neck or scoop neck blouse. I think it will grow on me over time but if I had seen it in the store I don't think I would have purchased it. It's a little flashier than I was expecting.

I gave the earrings and necklace, sight unseen, as a gift, and they were very well received. I was sent a photo with my friend wearing them, and they are a good size and look nice.

The necklace would be nicer with a proper chain fixture on the back of the figure eight.

This necklace looks much better in person then it does online, and the size is just right! It really looks good on an omega if you have one. You can dress it up, or dress it down depending on what you are wearing.

I absolutely love this necklace. I literally had dozens of compliments when I wore it to work with the matching earrings. It's on an 18" chain so I disagree with the other reviewer who says there isn't enough give. It is well made, well packaged & just stunning. The earrings are a must have if you buy the necklace!
