I will be purchasing more from this company. This necklace was perfect.
I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend of mine because her favorite color is that rich cobalt blue and mermaids hold a sort of symbolism in our friendship. So this was the perfect gift for me to get for her, and she loved it.<br /><br />It was a litter smaller than I expected, but I'm really happy about that. I was worried it might be on the gaudy side - especially with it being such a bright color - but it was an absolutely perfect size.<br />The glass was beautifully shaped. From best my memory serves, it was the same shape as in the picture (or very close), and I wasn't sure that it would be, given that these are handmade pieces made from sea glass.<br />The charm was a good size to go with the piece of glass it was paired with, and the detailing on her hair and tail seemed nice (from what I could tell without opening the little plastic bag it was sealed in inside the cute little jewelry box it was shipped in).<br />The chain seemed to be thin and small (once again, for what I could tell without taking it out of its little package), which is exactly the kind of chain a necklace like this needed.<br />I don't usually review the jewelry boxes, but in this case, it feels worth mentioning, especially since this was a present. It came in a little seafoam green box, tied in a coordinated ribbon (either white or seafoam, but I can't remember exactly, just that it was pretty).  And when I say tied, I mean actually tied in the ribbon, not just a ribbon glued to the box. There was a little soft filler on the inside that the necklace was on, and the necklace itself was inside a little protective packet to keep it safe and detangled during transit. I literally just had to re-tie the box and add a gift label and it was ready to go, looking like a whole bunch of time and thought went into the wrapping even though it was the easiest gift I've possibly ever wrapped.<br />Also worth mentioning, the time it took to ship was not unreasonable, just plan according to their estimates. Mine got to me in a timely enough manner that I was not stressed about missing the date I needed it for. (I'm a Prime member solely and completely because I am an irrationally impatient person and I want everything I order to magically appear in my lap when I hit the buy button, but I know that isn't possible with current technology. So... yeah.)<br /><br />I will be buying one of this company's necklaces for myself and one for my mom, and possibly more for my other friends.
