“Gorgeous, bright, complimented!”

I purchased two of these necklaces, and sent one off to a friend for her birthday. She was very pleased with the floral medallion -- she said that it went with so many of her tops! She loved the bright, skillfully painted flower, and thought that its shades of purple, blue, white, and touches of turquoise really popped against the black background.
