"Too long to wear"





I loved the color and quality of this necklace. However, it was too long to wear. It was half way down my chest and I am 55. I had to return it.

I can t wear hardly any jewelry around my neck due to pain & a condition I have. This necklace was so light & a beautiful color I wore it a lot last summer. I wish I could find it in another color.It was beaded so perfectly.It is brighter and the color was pink not purplish as it looks in the picture. I had so many compliments !!!

"Very nice!"





Purchased as a gift and it is hard to let it go! The colour is wonderful and it has a nice presence without being bulky or heavy. Might need to treat myself as well. Can be used as a bohemian piece or used as a elegant piece while dressed up. Very versatile.
