I love the colors in this necklace! The Aurora Borealis rainbows in these pink beads are beautiful. It's a layer of colorful sheen on the beads. The sun really brings out the colors in them! The pendant is a milky pink color & the pink seed beads really separate the necklace from its' shapes. All the metal is plated silver, including the lobster claw clasp. Arrives in a box, perfect for gift giving.
