★★★★★ "Cara was incredibly sweet in response to my request of purchasing the pendant without the chain. I really appreciate her sincerity and professionalism in all her messages. Shipping was quick and she offered me it to me for free! The pendant is more amazing in person because there are so many colors to catch in different lighting. The design really accentuate the opal. It’s also very well made!"
