I've wanted this necklace and get paid promptly for Christmas. It comes in a black small cardboard box. In this the jewel sparkles insanely great, so my anticipation was enormous! Even to me it looks beautiful! However, I must criticize the Gossamer associated chain - really not as high as expected. When I think of the face value (had bought at a reduced price), I find this is not justified. The smaller stones are beautiful, but much tinier than in the photo. They do not come out quite as shown in the photo, what the beauty does not detract from - I wonder just how long does that. Viewed from the side, the socket ornaments in heart shape - I find it very pretty. Contrasting the trailer is rather pastel purple, instead of as dark as the picture suggests. All in all I am very happy and wearing my new chain like.
