This necklace is a beautifully handcrafted piece. However, it is much smaller than it looks in the picture. the necklace itself is only 16 inches, but it is very delicate looking and wonderfully made. Overstock should have given the necklace length in the description. I would have still purchaced it, but would not have been suprised at its size when it arrived. The photo made it look 18 or 20 inches.
