I fell in love with this piece a number of years ago, but never thought I'd ever have it. It's just as gorgeous in person, if not more so. The first time I wore it, my neighbor (a retired jeweler) complimented me on it and said he loved the way it was set, and I couldn't agree more. I love the bird leg setting so, so much. The stone is nice and big as well, and super smooth. I don't plan on wearing it reversed, but it's nice to have the option of essentially having two pendants in one. If this doesn't make you feel like some sort of gothic royalty, I don't know what would.
