I purchased this necklace for my daughter for Mother's Day. It was a perfect combination of sentiment: Blue Topaz is her birthstone and her life really has been a journey that led her to marrying a man who had full custody of his sons. She became an instant Mom and she loves it. The necklace was as advertised. The stones were very light blue as described, so I wasn't surprised by that; and the size of the piece was a bit smaller than some, which made it daintier. But the chain seemed shorter than the normal "too short" chain that usually comes with a necklace purchase. Knowing that would would be an issue for my daughter, I included a longer silver chain with the necklace. I have this same complaint with all similar necklaces, and it really should be addressed by the manufacturers. Either sell the pendant separately with chains of different lengths offered or sell the necklace with decent length chains. It can be disheartening to give a gift that cannot be worn as is.
