Started out beautiful, in 8 days already leaves my neck green.
Review for both the crystal quartz and black tourmaline.<br /><br />First up, crystal quartz.<br />I'm going to start by saying that the 2 stars are ONLY for the quality of the quartz and the beautiful wire wrapping job.<br /><br />I was so excited when I got my necklace. It was beautiful. The stone was a great size. Truly lovely. Now I bought crystal quartz for it's many properties not as an accessory item. This necklace was NOT meant to be a randomly worn pretty piece of jewelry. I wanted it near my heart and to be worn in conjunction with other gemstones to help amplify their properties. I wore it for about 3 days and it had already began to tarnish. I cleaned it with a cleaning cloth and qtips but still within a couple more days the tarnishing was so bad that it actually turned my neck green.<br /><br />I'm really sad that I have to return the necklace. It was beautiful and maybe will work for people who only wear it for a few hours at time with a layer of clothing between the chain and their skin.<br /><br />Sadly this didn't work for me.<br /><br />Second, review for black tourmaline.<br />I had purchased the black tourmaline in gold. The stone was an ok quality and for the price I was happy with it. Then within 2 days, the chain's coating came off and already began to not just tarnish, but actually turn my neck green. I had contemplated just getting a new chain but then the gold plating on the wire wrapping began to come off as well. I was only able to wear this necklace for a few days before it's completely ruined.<br /><br />It makes me said that I have to return it, especially because the wrapping job was such a cute design.<br /><br />Sidenote: I had actually purchased 2 different necklaces, on the same day, from this seller. They came on different days, the first being the gold clear quartz. That some was truly beautiful. But unfortunately it too tarnished extremely quickly. So fast in fact, that it tarnished before I had even received the black tourmaline one, and I got that one 2 days later. So I'm thinking this was NOT a "one off" thing. It really seems to be a quality issue mainly having to do with the chain and the wrapping used.
