Treat yourself and buy this. Take my advice and read the dimensions and get a ruler out so you can visualize the size of this piece. The dimensions are dead on so you shouldn't be surpised by the size. If you are looking for a nice little piece, this is not for you. If you are looking for something ridiculously huge, this is not for you. This piece is an eye catcher that is a little more than an inch and a half in height and width and just about a half and inch thick. The craftsmanship is marvelous and color and texture is great as well. The only problem is the chain. The chain does cheapen the look. It kind of gives the whole piece a costume look to it. I suggest getting a more substantial chain to wear with it. I have put the pendant on a *** Jewelry Co 36 inch mini razor link chain that I already own and it looks great. You should look into a *** Jewelry Co or Black and Blue Jewelry Co 22, 30 or 36 inch chain to help you complete the look. The only thing is the chain might run you more than this cross, but it's worth it. With such a wide bale (or bail...who knows?) on the top of the pendant, I think the company kind of expects you to compliment the piece with a more substantial chain.
I love stainless steel jewerly. I purchased a few pieces from the *** Jewelry Co. stainless steel line and was really impressed. The only problem with them is that they are quite pricey. I have been noticing the Black and Blue Jewelry name the past year and a half and have been thinking about giving them a try. However most of their stuff is just as expensive as ***J ewelry Co. That's why I was shocked to find a variety of pieces available on this site at discount rates. I guess the prices are so low because its from a previous year's collection. That doesn't matter to me because they designs are classic and timeless.
