I was surprised to discover that the necklace is better than I expected. The colour, patterned style, and the tie attachment to tighten and loosen were awesome. Not seen that particular tie-up style before, but found it works better than the lobster clip style, etc. Affordable, stylish, funky, and casual. I think I will order again from this company, as it's my style. Received a few compliments on the necklace too.
