you get what you pay for, 1 time use. after the 1st use a few stones fell out. Overall an okay product.It’s nice but if you plus size be careful of it being a little tightThis neck piece is EVERYTHING!! It looks better in person. Wore it to Church & got MANY compliments, as well as outside of church. It's comfortable & does not pinch your skin or choke too tight...I bought gold & will be ordering silver alsoI love this necklace. It's my favorite necklace to wear when I go out. It lasts a long time and doesn't fade. It is the second one that I've purchased. My first one healed up pretty well. I have had it for two years now, and the only reason I bought a new one is that a few of the links fell off due to getting stuck on a few lace tops I wore with it. It's definitely worth the purchase.Wore this to a bit new years bash with a white-and-gold theme. This necklace is KILLER! I got a ton of compliments on it and it was very comfortable to wear. Easiest to apply with a helping hand since it can be a bit tricky to get on at the right tightness around your neck. This thing is SPARKLY, to say the least. Catches the lights at a concert real well and is super fun!Be aware that due to the general nature of wearing basically anything that moves around and has a billion little rhinestones on it, you're going to lose stones. I definitely lost several by the end of the first night, but I think anyone that has worn items of a similar design (in terms of how the stones are held) knows these aren't really made to last. The price is fair, however, and it can get a couple good wears in before you need to replace it. Perks if you have some extra stones on hand that you can just pop into the missing squares. Just don't expect this baby to be ultra durable for long. I didn't have any breakage in terms of the actual metal links themselves, but I would wager the heavier the use, the more breakage you're going to see.None the less, I knew what I was getting into with all of that so I'm happy to say that this necklace meet my expectations and really put the finishing touches on my outfit. I'm definitely going to pick up a second one soon since I absolutely want to wear it again and don't mind having a backup replacement on hand. :)Buying costume jewelry from a new (to me) seller is always a gamble but I'm happy with this $25 chance. I ordered the "Gold" coloured rhinestone necklace that now says "2 colour" in the title this explaining the different tones in my split screen pictures; using a flash vs not using to catch the effects for everyone. The point of the pictures is to show the packaging, the neck "length" stretched out (flash/no flash comparison), the necklace worn over a plain black high neck top (flash/no flash) and lastly a shot of how it falls with a low cut top. I felt a front facing picture wasn't appropriate for an Amazon review. The necklace arrived with a few other items in one large cardboard box. Inside that was another square box that was wrapped with thin plastic. When you slide the jewelry box out of the plastic sheath the lid comes off and the necklace itself is wrapped in another plastic "envelope"; presumably to prevent tangling during transport. I had no problems with the shipping or packaging. I haven't worn the necklace for any length of time yet; just for the hastily put together review photos but it feels somewhat durable and although it isn't sterling or real gemstones it didn't irritate my metal sensitive bare skin in the half hour I had it on. I'm about 5'1" tall and 100lbs and don't feel the necklace is too big for my frame. It just takes careful styling when we have different proportions. Thanks!I love this necklace - purchased it for my office xmas party this year and some beautiful earrings - only negative with this necklace it pinches my neck when I tried it on but I will find a remedy to wear it comfortable before the day - LOVE IT!! ;-)Update: I found a remedy - I bought some felt with one side sticky and cut it to size of necklace and problem solved - no more pinching ;-)Looks gorgeous and expensive but it’s a great price!
