Christine I get so many compliments on it it is the most beautiful lapis I have ever worn And the great part about it is has my cross in it you don't even know you have it on it's so comfortable and it stays in place and doesn't slide around your neck the cross is always right in the middle where it belongs I'd like to congratulate this Craftsman she did absolutely beautiful work and I would not hesitate to buy anything else from her ! Here is a picture of my beautiful blue lapis unfortunately you can't see the blue as well because of where I'm standing in the light but it also has beautiful gold flex in it Again her craftsmanship is outstanding I'd say 20 out of 10 ! I only take it off to shower !
