Absolutely stunning necklace. The pictures do not do it justice. This is a SPARKLER! Purchased for my Junior prom in 99' and worn one more time in 06' to a close friends wedding. Those are the only two times it's been worn. It's been stored specially in my jewelry cabinet in a smoke free home. The rhinestones are BRIGHT white, and NON-iridescent. The Hypo-allergenic metal is a sterling silver color. 15" Necklace that adjusts into a 17". I have no more weddings/special occasions to attend in my future that would require such a sparkler, and its a shame to let it sit neglected in my jewelry cabinet. Hope someone out there can get some use out of it.
