Very large Jade necklace”

This was a 12th anniversary gift for my husband. Jade or opal is the gemstone for that year of marriage. It is very nice although it is large, and my husband says it is a bit heavy. He wont wear it. I did not realize it was so big otherwise I would not have purchased. Once I received it, I had a feeling he would think it was too big. I decided to keep it and make it into an ornament for our Christmas tree or maybe use it a windchime.
