Certainly not for the meek to wear, this necklace makes a definite statement! I purchased this colossal floral necklace to wear with a black tank-style maxi dress, and it will be perfect!! I have not yet worn the necklace, as the clasp is very difficult to close, hence the four stars' rating rather than five stars. Had to order silver chain extenders, so hoping that should work. Although it looks to be of sturdy construction, I will only wear this necklace to dinner or an evening event, it's too big for daytime wear.
