Product details
Web ID: 856359Topaz too grey, diamonds not sparkly
I very seldom post a bad review, but this necklace needed some honesty. A weight of 15 carats should not be this shallow, which is why the true color of the pendant is not at all what shows in the photo…it’s is a much lighter blue with strong grey tones. I bought an Effy London blue topaz ring (12 ct) last year and the color was perfection, exactly matched the listing photos. Typically, jewelry does not photograph well, but in the case of this necklace the photograph far outshines what I have in my hand. The topaz color in person is very disappointing, the center stone setting is cheap and primitive looking, and the diamonds are so dull they don’t sparkle whatsoever. I have jewelry with only 0.1 ct of diamonds that sparkle beautifully, so I expected at least a little sparkle with this .25 ct setting but obviously that did not happen. Although I was very disappointed with the topaz color, had the setting been very sparkly and didn’t look so cheap, I would have kept it. Returning ASAP.
Beautiful ocean blue and great size
Nice topaz size. I love it! The only downside perhaps is the necklace itself. The style is way to simple for my taste. For the size of the stone they could have paired it with a better necklace style, that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I had another necklace that makes it stand out way better and that's how I wear it.
Great necklace
Love the large size and diamond accents. Looks good with casual or formal wear.

BEAUTIFUL
This necklace is just what I was looking for! The style, size and color are just perfect!
Reasonable
It is very good size and shape. The piece looks very neat but isn't sparkly or as conspicuous for its price.
