"I'm a great fan of "passalongs." Very often we buy or receive an item that's perfectly good, but just doesn't thrill us. No problem; if you have a circle of friends and relatives who love jewelry, too, just pass it along to someone who'll cherish it. That's how I got this super necklace. The lady who'd gotten it found it too heavy and chunky for her taste, but knows I love big, showy pieces. The turquoise, aquamarine, and amazonite work beautifully together, and I have several pieces in this combo. I did have to do some work on the clasp; it was just too small for it to be easy for me to manipulate. Second review submitted."

"The weight of the necklace is so heavy, yet the clasp is so tiny, one could hardly be able to manage trying to hook and unhook this piece. There were some chipped stones that were in the plastic bag when it arrived. I'm sending this item back."
