It is a tradition in my family to present our daughters with jewelry as they turn that magic 40th year. I'm sure she'll be as thrilled with this as I am. For such a large stone, the size of the piece, overall, is perfect. Not flashy, just beautiful.
This pendant really stands out. It is a good size (larger than a lot of pendants), and the color is so soothing. The workmanship is top-notch. I love it.
