This piece is worth the sale price. The gold-tone links are very light to flimsy, the black links are light plastic, but it still looks like a substantial piece of jewelry. The whole look is bold, rich, and stylish. The necklace is exactly as pictured. Because of the lack of weight and questionable durability, I would not want to pay full price. It looks great with an off-the-shoulder or v-neck black top. The earrings were skipped because they are pierced, but the necklace does not need them.
