This is dainty and sparkly... just as pictured! I purchased 2 at the St. Agnes Gala and my daughter and I both have them now. A perfect piece for layering for me, and a perfect stand-alone for my daughter who likes minimal (but beautiful) pieces. I also purchased the Annunciation Orthodox School Gala offering (another cross) and can't wait to layer them together. Shannon's pieces are always on-trend, beautiful, and make us girls feel beautiful!
