This is a lovely piece that a person seeking a purple/violet necklace is sure to love. In the photos, the stones appeared to have a fair amount of navy blue shading, which is what I was looking for, and the green accent stones appeared very subtle. In person, the stones range in tone from lavender to violet, with some royal purple in the mix. The green accents are very green. While this is still a nice combination, it was not quite what I was looking for. Still, for the price, it's a nice piece - delicate and unusual. I will keep it and pick up a purple shirt to wear with it.
