I NEED Opinions!!
Permalink Closed

I have been looking at this necklace for months now.  This one is on Ebay and it's priced at $165.  It's the cheapest I've found.  It's Michelle Roy - an actual leaf dipped in sterling silver.  I need opinions.  Is it worth getting.  Do you think it's wearable year round??  Please help!!

I think it's really lovely and unusual. I sort of wish the chain was a little shorter (so the leaf was above chest level), but I think it's worth the price.

I don't think it's worth $165.  But then again I've seen them at all the little shops in the mining towns in the Rockies - earrings, necklaces, Christmas tree ornaments, nightlights in gold, silver, and copper.


I think you'd be paying for the name more than the necklace itself.  But then again, if you really love it and you can afford it, why not?

I agree with LMonet. I think it's pretty, but not worth that much.


Though I might be biased because Eva Langoria bugs me.

Seems like it would be fragile - I know it's dipped in sterling silver, but the core is still just a leaf...

That being said, I do love it and if you've been thinking about it that long, it's likely worth it to you.




***Side note: Eva Longoria bugs me too.***

If I could find a knockoff - I'd be more then willing to purchase that.  I don't care about the designer.  I just LOVE the look.  I've seen the chains plenty of places, it's the natural leaf pendant I haven't seen before.  If someone knows where I could buy something simular, please let me know.

Do you mind ordering from Canada?
About $17 US



$14.95


$52


I think these are all considered "ornaments", but there's no reason you couldn't string it up on a chain for cheap!

I don't like the chain, so I wouldn't spend that much money on it personallly. But if you really love i, do it.

I think it's really cute and out of the ordinary, but I also think it is a bit expensive...if you are going to use it very much...go for it, but if you have thoughts....maybe keep on looking for something cheaper.

Thanks Ladies!!  I *think* that if I could remove the extra ribbon and stuff on this and find a way (not sure how) to attach it to a chain like this one - it'd be pretty darn close!!

rar210 - Do you have a bead supply store near you? It looks like you just need a jump ring, a clasp and a length of chain.
