The contrasts of the colors and sheens of the beads and the highlights of gold are really nice. Overall my necklace is a little bit more green and less blue than the picture, but I really love it.
I purchased this necklace (and matching earrings) as a gift for myself after graduating. The school colors were red and black and this was perfect. The necklace and earrings are beautiful, all the elements are well made flawless. I always receive compliments when wearing them.
