Dainty, pretty, but may pull apart
This necklace is very pretty. The pictures provided on the product page are accurate and comprehensive. The product comes in a pretty gold box, in a soft suede-like pouch; also included is a gauze drawstring gift bag and a polishing cloth in a smaller paper envelope. This product is definitely ready for gift exchange. This chain is a snake pattern, very dainty, with glass turquoise beads that have brown and black flecks on them. The turquoise beads are stationary, anchored by a gold bead on either side. The closure is a standard round spring ring. There’s a sliding ball that makes it easy to change the length of the necklace, but there is no terminal bead on the end of the chain, so the chain can slip out. It’s easy to thread the chain back into the ball, but I worry that I will lose the necklace one day while wearing it - it’s so light-weight, I might not notice it falling off. The risk of it inadvertently pulling apart may take it out of contention as a gift for a younger person.
