I first saw one of these collars come across my feed last November and I pined and pined...I won't go into the reasons why I held off, but suffice to say I don't have anyone to share this gorgeous stuff with or have it appreciated on me. Eventually, I decided I NEEDED it and the rest would eventually come. I fell in love with this green one in Feb and bought it as soon as I had some extra cash. It arrived carefully and beautifully packaged. It's perfect...delicate and fantastical. I tried it on right away. I've never seen anything like it, far too pretty to keep behind closed doors, so it'll get worn for the right occasion. Until then, I'll enjoy admiring it around my neck.
