I had high expectation for this necklace after reading all the reviews, thought it would be well made since it's customer pick. The necklace/belt is pretty from a certain distance, but when getting closer, it looks very cheap. Pearls are ok, but stones look exactly like plastic except the biggest two in bottom, metal look pale not like gold at all. It's good design and concept, but poor quality. Hope the quality of Susan's products will be improved.
