"Dainty" and lovely
This necklace is my first piece of opal jewelry and I love it. As promised, it is two inches of delicately-colored opals centered on a thin gold chain. I love the soft, variable colors of the opals - they add an elegant touch to any outfit - and they contrast beautifully against my milk-chocolate skin. The length of the chain suits me perfectly. I love seeing the opals sit in the depression between my collar bone.<br /><br />There's only a few things I didn't appreciate. I was careful to read specifications on dimensions and knew what I was in for, but was still taken aback by how fine the chain is. I'm terrified that I'll make one false move and watch my opals fall to the ground. I was also unimpressed by the packaging. It's an understated necklace and I understand the minimalist approach of just putting it in a tiny box, but there wasn't even a tiny acknowledgement of the purchase - just a logo. A kind word wouldn't have hurt, in my opinion.
