This is the first Novica piece that I have been disappointed with. The sterling is light and not substantial and sounds tinny. The gemstone color is not too bad, it is not the typical brownish red common garnet, more of a scarlet color, but small. The cord-very cheap with a super cheap clasp. I was not planning on wearing it on the cord anyway but still not good. I waited two weeks for delivery and was sad and disappointed when I opened it. It will definitely go back, but the good news is, there are plenty of other beautiful Novica pieces to choose from. Overall I love all my Novica pieces-they are very good quality, unique and most of them a good value thanks to Overstock.com!

The quality of the "Wild Beauty" Pendant is exceptional.  I love the filigree work and the stone is very pretty.  The quality of the leather necklace is not as nice.  I am almost scared to wear the pendant on the leather necklace for fear of losing it.  The clasp on the necklace doesn't seem very substantial.  Overall, though, I am pleased with my purchase.
