Although this necklace is not as long or as colorful as it looks in the photo, it is still acceptable. It is more "choker" length, and the color is subtle, more in brown and skin tones than the more appealing yellow color that appears in the photo. Even so, citrine is a very healing stone, especially for financial prosperity, and to give strength to the third chakra, which regulates the ego. My suggestion is to wear the necklace over a white mock turtleneck shirt, so as to show it to advantage. Otherwise, it looks washed out against bare skin (at least my own, which already has some yellow tones). The silver beads are nice, and add to the design. An "extender" could be good to make it longer.
