This looked exactly as pictured. The pendant has a glamorous, retro look yet is a timeless piece. It adds sophistication to work or event wear. The chain seems a bit delicate - I would have preferred slightly thicker - but it does the job of showcasing the pendant. I'm very pleased with it.
I have ordered many pieces of jewelry from Novica but this piece is by far one of the best. It is lovely. The color of the carnelian is beautiful. I love the size of the stone.
