This necklace is too short. I compared it against diamond necklaces in a similar style and found it to be, on average, at least 1 inch shorter. It needs that extra inch to sit flat. Otherwise, a turn of the head can flip it backward, where it tends to stay. The other issue is that the bezels holding the CZs were somewhat irregular in shape. The size of each CZ, on the other hand, was very realistic looking. It would have been a great necklace, had it worked. The problem with the other choices here on Overstock as of this writing is that they are either too big to be realistic and/or do not use solid sterling silver to ensure that the metal will wear well over the long run. Moreover, some of the other choices look suitable for weddings or formal events, but do not appear simple/classic enough to compliment less flashy attire. That's why I chose this particular necklace despite the reviews indicating it was too short. Ultimately, those reviewers were right. I sent it back. Very disappointing, to say the least.
