The necklace is very nice but a bit short for an average neck. I wish it was two inches longer :)

This neclace is beautiful and brightens up many outfits. I also appreciate that it is light way and therefore comfortable.

A very colorful necklace that is a good length. I would love if it could be adjustable, but this length does work with a lot of my clothing.
