Amazon.com Product Description
Add a dash of spring to your style any time of year with this pretty open flower pendant. Slender bars of polished sterling silver bend and curve to form a star-shaped double flower with pretty tapered petals. The floral design is anchored at the center by a small polished silver bead and secures to a triangular silver bale. It slides along a smooth and slender 18-inch curb chain that fastens with a spring ring clasp. The look is fresh, contemporary, and feminine. Unlike the flowers in your garden, this one has a beauty that will never fade.
Sterling Silver Open Double Flower Pendant, 16″ – 18″
This is a wonderful value in the Jewelry category. I purchased this for my girlfriend to wear at a formal party, and it really worked out well.
The price is a very good deal considering the artistry, and the flower itself is just the right size. (I was worried it might be a little small, because things look a lot bigger with the zoomed-in closeups on the website, but I was not disappointed. If memory serves it was about the size of a half dollar coin).
The other reviewers are correct: the chain itself is a little delicate, but it does the job. The focus of this piece remains on the pendant.
Overall a fine addition to any jewelry collection.
**Update** Amazon now lists a pair of earrings which match this pendant. I have not purchased them, but they look to be miniature identical versions of the flower pattern.
Rating: 5 / 5
Like many others, I have mixed feelings about this item. The pendant is very pretty (although a little larger than I expected), but the chain that comes with it is ridiculous! It’s much too thin and looks like it can barely support the weight of the pendant. I immediately swapped it out for a thicker, longer chain and now I’m pleased with my purchase. If it weren’t for the chain problem, I would give this item 4 stars instead of 3.
Rating: 3 / 5
I think this is just a beautiful piece. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that the chain that is comes on is very delicate and a piece like this needs a more substantial chain. Change out the chain and you have yourself a wonderful piece of jewelry.
To answer the question of demention, the flower is an 1 1/2 inches across at it widest point.

I was unsure how to really rate this. I gave it four stars only because the chain was so poor. Don’t order this with the 18″ chain! When I did, I was sent a 16″ chain with an obvious 2″ attachment that was not even the same type of chain! It looked awful. Since I wanted to give this as a gift, that was unacceptable. So I had to scramble to order a follow-up chain, at extra cost and shipping expense. However, the Pendant itself is beautiful and well-made, sure to please. As other reviewers have commented, it is well worth the price.

I have had nothing but compliments from this necklace! It goes well with everything that I wear! If you like silver colored jewelry it’s a winner. I have had it 5 months and still hasn’t tarnished.
**02/08-So now I am updating the review. I have had the necklace for over 3 years and it still looks great. The compliments are still flowing and I still wear it often. I am thinking of buying a backup just in case mine ever does start looking horrible. Hasn’t happend yet though.
