"Beautiful and well made!"





I purchased this as a gift for a friend and it was a hit! She loved it! The necklace is very well made. I know that when I purchase things with lots of beads strung together, I often worry about the craftsmanship because Ive had more than one come apart. That was not the case with this item. It felt very sturdy and it was absolutely beautiful. I loved the color, the length was just right, and it was easy to clasp.

"Beautiful colors!"





This necklace is perfect! The colors are beautiful and the necklace is (surprisingly) very lightweight. I appreciate that it can be worn at two different lengths. It feels very well-made. Highly recommend!

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 !!!
