The color and weight are perfect. Recommend that you spend the extra $1 to have it shipped in a gift box. Although she packages her earrings beautifully, I have always had one of the pair arrive bent. Now that I spend the extra $1 I avoid this problem and have a lovely box to use for a friend.
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.
