I am so so happy with my purchase! The necklace is truly amazing quality. I think this is arguably the best quality you can get (rhodium plated 925 sterling silver + cubic zirconia) before upgrading to gold and diamonds. If you're looking for something you can use over and over again without risk of rusting, or the stones loosing their luster, this is it! Sterling silver does not rust and, unlike other cheaper metals, when it does tarnish (i.e. darken) you can clean it fairly easily using a polishing cloth/ liquid, allowing you piece to literally forever. On top of that, the necklace is additionally rhodium plated (which makes it more resistant to tarnishing). Also, one thing that stood out to me in this listing was that the necklace is made in Italy (most other listings in this price point are made in China, where I can never be sure of the quality of the workmanship or materials used in the manufacturing process or the toxic chemicals that could be found in the finished product).This necklace also has a high jewelry look in that the clasp used is a box clasp with anadditional security latch (which also makes it safe from falling off). In my search for a tennis necklace I also learned one tip regarding putting on the necklace: to prevent the necklace from *twisting*, in order for the stones to *lay flat*, one must make sure to put on the necklace holding the "tongue" part of the clasp in your right hand and the "box" part of the clasp in your left. I tried this and have used this method for various days now and the necklace hasn't twisted once. Be sure to use this method and you'll avoid that problem altogether.All in all, SO SO HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE! I'm almost never inclined to write any reviews, but I decided to write this one because I think when someone gets it so right they deserve to be especially rewarded, particularly with a product where it seems so many things could go wrong and where I found so many people in other listings of similar products were so disappointed with their purchase. A million thanks to the seller, you have an *AMAZING PRODUCT* here!
