It is lovely but it doesn't look like it is actual .925 silver, it appears more like silver tone or plated one. I have worked with a lot of silver jewelry I am a retired jeweler and if it was .925 you would see the tarnish since it will begin to tarnish rather quickly if not kept cleaned which would be a job with this one. The only other way to keep from tarnishing is by wearing it a lot. The only way to not have it cleaned by a professional is by using liver of sulfer but it will tarnish again quickly. It is rather stunning to look at!
