Very lovely piece. By no fault other than my own for not reading the description close enough, the necklace is longer than expected. Of course, I seem to have a small neck. I will probably find a way to make this a little smaller so that is sits more flat against my neck. It is very pretty though and I would recommend it to anyone. I got the ruby red version and in the picture the ruby looks a lot darker, but I am still very pleased with the coloring of the piece. Very pleased.
