Although the swan is a little big for me, but you rarely find, I'm not disappointed with my purchase, but delighted. It is no longer a fantasy gem, but a gem made of opal gemstones with pretty pastel colors. Opals are cut and polished and beautifully mounted, as well as "brilliant" on a slightly hollow metal "skeleton" to give volume to the jewel. The color of the set is beautiful and unusual. The chain is of lower quality and preserve the sweat and maybe a bit too long for certain person. But that's a detail. This jewel can dress any garment including a long black dress or another color to your evenings. It is a delicate and elegant pendant and not a necklace.
