This necklace was beyond gorgeous! Wore it with the Halston Heritage dress to give it that extra wow! 

Perfect and elegant necklace.  Great with a variety of different necklines.  I wore it with an off the shoulder gown and it was just right.  You can adjust the length to fit your needs.

I expected this necklace to be more sparkly, but it was a little dull.  It's not much brighter than how it actually looks in the pictures (I thought the lighting was probably off, but it's not).  Would have been fine, except that the matching bracelet wasn't available, so the replacement bracelet I got was way sparklier than the necklace.  I'd asked the fit consultant if they would match and she said yes; they didn't match, in my opinion, but maybe I'm too picky. In addition to that, the metal in which the crystals are set is plated silver.  On the particular necklace I was sent, the little nubs that stick out between crystals had all been rubbed enough that the brassy colored metal underneath was visible!  It was this way on every single link of the necklace I rented.  Maybe it's time for rent the runway to retire the piece I had?  

I rented this to use as a replacement for a necklace that was part of a halter-style black silk formal dress from BCBG.  I was going to a black-tie wedding, so I loved that the necklace is also called black tie.  It was a little short for what I wanted (the necklace loops through an opening in the center top of the dress and holds the dress up), but I cut the ribbons off the necklace the dress came with and used with this and it worked fine.  

I chatted with a fit specialist initially to find out how large the links are, but she didn't know.  It really would be nice to have a picture of this necklace with a person wearing it, or some way of having perspective on the size.  It would not have worked with the dress if the links were too small.  I wanted them to be around 1" and they were smaller.  It worked out okay, but it would have been nice to know beforehand.  

If I had paid $825 for this necklace, I would be VERY disappointed, but renting it was fine--it looks good in my pictures from the wedding!



really sparkles goes great with blue or green!
