It arrived in perfect condition and the design is very meaningful. The silver has a rich texture and the peacock chain is quite unique. A little heavier than expected, but that adds to the traditional feel.

The quality is high and the details are impressive. The oxidised finish is subtle and not too dark. Only minor issue is that the tassel is a bit short, but it’s still very attractive and meaningful.
