Amazon.com Product Description
Add a dash of spring to your style any time of year with this pretty open flower pendant. Slender bars of polished sterling silver bend and curve to form a star-shaped double flower with pretty tapered petals. The floral design is anchored at the center by a small polished silver bead and secures to a triangular silver bale. It slides along a smooth and slender 18-inch curb chain that fastens with a spring ring clasp. The look is fresh, contemporary, and feminine. Unlike the flowers in your garden, this one has a beauty that will never fade.
About Sterling Silver Jewelry
History
Experts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper; it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this popularity, silver companies began to grown. During this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions in jewelry as it was a material that was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver’s durability without harming its sparkle.
Caring For Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish.

Wonderful necklace for an evening out.
By Atomicwasteland
This is a wonderful value in the Jewelry category. I purchased this for my girlfriend to wear at a formal party, and it really worked out well.
The price is a very good deal considering the artistry, and the flower itself is just the right size. (I was worried it might be a little small, because things look a lot bigger with the zoomed-in closeups on the website, but I was not disappointed. If memory serves it was about the size of a half dollar coin).
The other reviewers are correct: the chain itself is a little delicate, but it does the job. The focus of this piece remains on the pendant.
Overall a fine addition to any jewelry collection.
**Update** Amazon now lists a pair of earrings which match this pendant. I have not purchased them, but they look to be miniature identical versions of the flower pattern.

Nice pendant, bad chain
By Jill O'Nan
Like many others, I have mixed feelings about this item. The pendant is very pretty (although a little larger than I expected), but the chain that comes with it is ridiculous! It's much too thin and looks like it can barely support the weight of the pendant. I immediately swapped it out for a thicker, longer chain and now I'm pleased with my purchase. If it weren't for the chain problem, I would give this item 4 stars instead of 3.

Beautiful
By S. Crotts
I think this is just a beautiful piece. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that the chain that is comes on is very delicate and a piece like this needs a more substantial chain. Change out the chain and you have yourself a wonderful piece of jewelry.
To answer the question of demention, the flower is an 1 1/2 inches across at it widest point.
