The necklace is stunning and well made, as are all of my pieces from Jade Maya. It’s a striking and one of a kind piece. The green jade, however, is more of a blue/gray color, and not as deeply green as the photos show. I know that jade naturally varies in its hues, but it would be helpful to see photos of all versions of the necklace, to give buyers a better idea of what they can expect to receive.
