I received this necklace a while ago, and I think that it is SO pretty! I love the weight of the peice, and I love the deep violet hues. The stones have a lot of striations, so I am praying that it will hold up forever! There are so many faux jewelry lines that charge MUCH more money for cheesy plastic pieces - i absolutely LOVE the fact that these are REAL jems at a GREAT price! Thank you so much Studio Barse!
