This is a beautiful necklace. It has a chunky, exotic feel because the silver "pendant" is substantial and intricately detailed and of high quality. The beads add a feminine quality and keep it neutral enough to wear with dressy or casual looks. One thing, the beads are not crystal clear as shown in the picture. They have a very pale amber tint. I do not find this to be a negative, as this is a truly special necklace.
