I adore this piece, the Damascus pendant was unlike anything i was able to find anywhere else. It was the main reason i bought it.
I have a few complaints:
1) the necklace came with a triangle wire connecting the pendant and the chain. It didn't look like it did online so i had to make alterations. This included using two pliers to pull the metal wire out (it was cut as one piece and bent into a triangle shape), squeezing the jump rings so i could fit it through the pendant, and then widening said ring (with a needle nose plier) so i could actually use it with the original clasp.
2) the actual drilled hole in the pendant that allows the connection of the chain doesn't go straight through, nor is it in the middle. It starts on the hard left side with about a millimeter or so separating it from the pendant wall, and comes out closer to the middle on the other side. Not the biggest deal but its certainly not a shining moment.
3) the pendant had a slight patina when it arrived, precautions could have been taken in the packaging/finishing process to minimize this.
Don't get me wrong I still love this necklace and have been wearing it every day since I got it. I would have returned it for a replacement that had the above issues fixed but I don't really want to wait another month+ (ordered 7/25, received 9/16).
Other than that I still love this piece, and I will recommend it to anyone interested, but I will let them know about my personal experience (which I assume doesn't happen often due to the amount of amazing reviews on the website).
