I purchased this necklace (and matching earrings) as a gift for myself after graduating. The school colors were red and black and this was perfect. The necklace and earrings are beautiful, all the elements are well made flawless. I always receive compliments when wearing them.
It was as beautiful in person as it is in the picture. I sent it to my sister as a "Pre-hostess gift". My mother and I are to visit her in a month and I wanted to give her something for her trouble. I saw this necklace and I knew immediately what to send her. And I was right. She loves it!
