    This necklace can go with both green, blue, and even purple outfits. I just wish it was either a little longer so that I could double it over my head for two loops, or a little shorter for a single loop.

    This is a very cherished heirloom, sitting right next to our beloved Boxer girl’s ashes, who passed recently. A beautiful butterfly fluttered around her area after she passed, and we wanted to recognize her with this awesome sculpture! This IS a lovely piece!

    It's The Year of The Tiger and so what better gift to get my Mother who just so happens to be a Tiger (Chinese Horoscope). She loves the necklace and I finally convinced her that she doesn't have to "save" things to wear only for special occasions. She wore this necklace the very next day and she says it's comfortable and slips easily over her head.

    Today, I received my precious ”Sunny” gemstone tree. It was prettily packaged and gift-wrapped. Needless to say, I knew immediately that the item itself would be very precious given the way it was wrapped, and I was not mistaken. The citrine and amethyst tree is gorgeous, and I'm excited to be able to attract more positivity into our lives. The artist also included a nicely written postcard from Brazil. Thank you so much!!!

    I love this tree! It was the perfect crystal tree since rose quartz is my lucky crystal for my tiger sign in the Chinese zodiac. I also put a slew of snow quartz crystals at the foot of the tree to make it seem like a crystal winter wonderland, and that has helped me feel the energies from this tree all the better.

    These stones a naturally beautiful. Their variation highlights the colors and brings attention to individual stones. The three bracelets are a nice touch allowing the wearer options.

    The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that I am not excited by the item once I see it. This may be me, because it does look exactly as pictured, though I wish more shiny. Another reviewer said "milky," good word. Three separate strands, so you can wear together or 1 or 2, or give three gifts to others! Excellent value. They fit snugly over my smallish hands and wrist, not for large bodies.

    The Amethyst is a deep purple, has a nice weight, and is absolutely beautiful!
    K
    Karen
    The several colors make this a perfect choice for me. I can wear it with so many things. I get compliments on it all the time. Worn it to work & with casual clothes. The beads, or chips, are petite (more than I gleaned from the pictures online), which makes it visually interesting, without being chunky or overpowering. That makes it a surprisingly good choice to wear at the office.

    This necklace goes well with any piece of clothing. It is very beautiful and I use it very often I also have bracelets that match the necklace.

    These are so pretty and a good value but my only concern is they stick to glasses/cups when they start to get wet. I've had this problem with other coasters so I guess it might be common. I still like them a lot but gotta be careful I don't pick one up with my drink while lifting it.

    Maybe my head is too bi, but I can't wrap this necklace twice around my head. For a single strand it's a bit long, but it's still a quality item .

    This fluorite strand feels cool and calming on my neck. The gentle blue and green colors are soothing and compliment many pieces of clothing.
    K
    Katherine
    I'm assuming that the item was damaged during shipping. When I tried it on multiple fluorite chips ended up on the floor. The necklace still seemed to be salvageable after removing the broken stones but when I went to wear it I found additional broken stones. By that time I had tossed the packaging so I couldn't easily return it. I have purchased other items from this artisan which arrived just fine so I'm assuming this was a one time mailing issue.

    This necklace is a very nice length and the color is lovely. I was afraid the stones would be rough, but they are very smooth and easy to wear. The necklace has a nice weight to it so it hangs beautifully without being bulky. A great wardrobe addition!

    They are very pretty and delicate. I was hoping for larger stones but aqua stones are pricey. I have a large hand so sliding the bracelets over and thru use a lot of care. Snug fit for 7 plus size wrist. Girls with small wrists are in luck with this find.

    Liberty
    I really love this necklace.The beads are a very deep purple amethyst. I gave it four stars because I wish it had a clasp so that I might wear pendants with it. It is beautiful on its own and would be exquisite with a pendant . Very pleased with this purchase.
