My necklace arrived yesterday and is beautiful, exactly like the photo and very well made. Although it took a ling time to get to the US (11 weeks), it was worth the wait. Mariya is very honest, reliable, friendly and helpful. Although I don't speak Russian and she doesn't speak English, we communicated very well using online translation - I used Google Translate. Do not hesitate to order from her, but be patient about the time it takes. She mailed it very promptly and provided an image of the mailing receipt with tracking number. The tracking system really does work well - I used the official Russian Post Office tracking ) and also an even better online package tracker ), but packages just travel very slowly there and sometimes stop for days. But be patient, and your item WILL get to you, and I think you'll be as happy as I am. Diane Winters in California, US.
