I just received my pendant 2 days ago, and overall I am very happy. It should be noted that the stone in the photo is not the one you will get, which the shop owner was perfectly up front about. I also asked her to see a picture of the pendant on a person for sizing and she was not able to send me one, only saying the size was "perfect", which she turned out to be absolutely right about! I was disappointed that she wasn't able to accommodate my request to have a stone with some blue flash in it (there aren't many stones left I think), but the stone she sent is certainly beautiful! It has plenty of gold flash and reminds me of a tiger, not to mention the stone truly did feel like it had been programmed to me, I instantly felt connected. So I am certainly keeping the stone! The only reason I give the piece 4 stars is because of the cut and quality for the price. First, for such an expensive piece I would expect the metal to either be tarnish resistant or gold plated (but maybe there was an energetic reason to use plain silver?). Second, 2 of the three corners of my stone are chipped, one of them quite noticeably. With the way it is set though you only notice if you are inspecting the stone. My overall recommendation is that if you are simply looking for beautiful jewelry, I would not choose this for the price. If you are looking for a perfect stone for you, however, and are willing to be flexible on the way the stone looks, then this piece is highly recommended. I am certainly very happy with mine.
