Jay King Sterling Silver Purple Charoite Collar Necklace

Wonderful. Just some advice on the fitting of it since they are some comments. The necklace actually can be molded to your neck. The piece where the two stones are was slightly upraised on mine but just gently bending it downward at top where the top stone was put it on the perfect place on my neck. The other side with one stone can be gently closed to come closer to the other stones. It molds easily and it made the fit perfect for my petite neck. Worth every penny for this.

Ordered two of these and kept the one that had the best matched stones. It is a unique design and because I am petite in the neck, I had to work with the piece for a custom fit. Happy I did. Get compliments every time I wear. Would have given five stars had I not had to fool with replacement.

After reading the first review, I took a chance. Why--Jay's stones can vary greatly in color and value, so I always hold my breath when opening the box. But the silversmith work has consistently given beauty to his pieces. So I thought I would need to adjust the pliable silver collar when I popped it on-but it lay perfectly. And the charoite, according to GIA, the light/dark purple swirls and chatoyancy in my necklace add value, and mine was more beautiful than any photo I could find online.

I have two words for Jay King .... QUALITY CONTROL. Through the years I have ordered many, many pieces from his company because some of it is lovely and good quality. That said, I'm done. Sick of having to return so many things that are so obviously defective. The necklace I received in this case is ridiculous, made so the bottom (largest) Charoite stone sticks out at an extreme angle, a very obvious defect. Anyone who made, or in any way handled it could have seen that it was NOT OKAY to sell.
