SO DISAPPOINTED! ** Not as pictured **
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my teen daughter who is a major Hamilton fanatic! It caught my eye bc of the lyrics and how she's constantly singing the Hamilton songs and how I knew she would appreciate the lyrics on the necklace. I had this necklace and one other in a different colored metal, but with a star in place of the gun, to choose from. Of course her dad wanted the star, but I knew the gun would have more meaning to her only bc of the lyrics. However, I made my decision to get this necklace over the other one bc the treble cleft and gun are gold while the circle is silver. And the other I had to choose from was all one colored, sort of a pinkish gunmetal color. I prefer the two-tone color as I think it is prettier and makes the different pieces stand out better.<br /><br />However, to my HUGE disappointment, that is not what I received. The treble cleft and gun ended up being silver as well as the circle. It doesn't do much for the necklace. The different pieces don't even stand out and the necklace doesn't seem pretty to me anymore. My husband was upset, asking me what was the black smears all over the back of the circle as well as the bright colored dings (which I am assuming all of this came from the stamping of the letters). However, my husband expected for the back of it to be perfect as he expected for it to be of engravers quality (which I can forgive this being its handmade).<br /><br />I just hate to order a product thinking I'm receiving something that's two-tone and receive it and it's not. So if I was you and you decide to order this, I would make sure I told the seller to make sure your item two-tone two-tone, or DON'T ORDER IT!!<br /><br />I am so disappointed and I pray my daughter never sees this on Amazon to see what her necklace was supossed to look like. I do not want her to be disappointed too that her necklace does not look pretty like the photo shown, but it's just, meh.<br /><br />Debating about whether to even give it to her now. It's that disappointing.
