I've bought a few Giles & Brother items and find that I keep rating them 'average' or 'good' rather than 'excellent'. There's always some little issue. With this necklace it's that it's a little smaller/tighter around the neck than I expected. I just thought it would hang a little bit more. I think the price for it is probably very good at $105. I see it as kind of a fall back item, when I can't find a necklace I really love to go with my outfit for the day, this will probably go with a number of ensembles. It's the design that's reminiscent of two safety pins stretched and clasped together which makes it kind of different. If the workmanship were a little more detailed/just better I'd think it was excellent. I think that's really the issue with these G&B pieces-- I wish they were better quality, and I'd pay for it too. That said though, this is still a perfectly nice necklace. I wouldn't run out an d buy it again, but I'm not returning it either.
