I knew they would be clear-ish, but from the photo I thought these stones would be translucent gold and turquoise colored. Most stones are only slightly gold colored, and very translucent- there are definately no blue or green tones in it. Still, I like this necklace- the stones are not too big, so they give the idea of a chunky necklace without being too heavy or overpowering, and it is a light, interesting stone that will compliment a lot of my wardrobe. It seems to be well-constructed and I plan to wear it a lot.

I got it for my mom as a present. When I saw this necklace I was't sue if I should keep it: stones are not yellow and they are mix with few transparent, you can see cracks, but it's so nice in touch very smooth and has a nice weight. I think good price for this item you will get what you paid for.
