My husband surprised me with this Acorn pendant as an early Christmas gift.
The photo pales in comparison to holding it in the palm of your hand for the very first time.

The Citrine color is a deep yet rich hue of gold and the delicate spray of diamonds accenting the front of the acorn really makes this pendant stand out against a dark colored turtleneck sweater.

The gold chain that comes with the pendant is a bit too delicate for my taste so I will be replacing it with a stronger gold chain. Otherwise this is a real beauty and anyone getting this as a gift is sure to love it!

I ordered this item when it was promoted on lightning deals and it arrived yesterday. When I opened the box, I was really disappointed with the product.

I know that jewelry looks much better when showed on TV or on a Web site. I had also checked its real dimensions (images are always much larger) and I knew it would be small. Still, I was disappointed by its size and by its overall quality.

I thought the pendant would be somewhat flat, but it is round (just like a real acorn). And the diamond particles are placed only on the front side and back is just plain gold. Since the pendant is round, it wouldn't stay in one position and it will roll left and right revealing the side without any diamond particles. That would be odd.

The chain it comes with is so thin that using it to hold the pendant would be unsafe and one could lose the whole thing.

Update 10/23/2008:
I have returned the product per my wife's wishes.

I got this as one of my wife's Christmas presents and she loved it.It sparkles and refraces the light perfectly.

Gots lots of compliments. Chain is very "dainty" fragile, hard to open to take off, but looks great.

I gifted myself this lovely pendant for my bday and I am not disappointed. The citrine is a beautiful golden yellow color. The diamonds are only on 1/3 of the top circumference and not very striking but accentuate the citrine nicely. The gold finishing is very good and the chain very pretty and delicate. I'm scared it might break so I will replace it with a stronger gold chain but God its pretty!

I also purchased this from the lightening deal. I expected the citrine to be a delicate 3-dimensional gemstone, and I was not disappointed. I would have preferred to see diamond chips placed around the entire top of the acorn, but it doesn't seem to detract from the necklace. As other reviewers noted, the chain is very lightweight, but I have other gold chains I can use for this pendant.
