I crafted these necklaces with my own hands, so of course I like them. I put a lot of love into each and every one, and hope that they bring forth many a smile on Mother's Day and other special occasions. <3

Nice for the one you love and cheaper than a dozen roses on Valentines Day.
Vicky

I absolutely love wire work, but this just misses the mark. I wouldn't exactly say tacky, but looks very beginner craft store class.
ASHLEY

Super tacky, especially for the price.

Love it!
Vanessa

The bouquets are really cute but I can't think of anyone I know wearing it.
Shelley
Vote: Thumbs up!
They are pretty. I don't know if I would pay $98. I love original jewelry, and the handmade aspect, but still, it's priced a bit out of my market.
Jenna

Tacky and way overpriced!

i'm sure they took plenty of effort to make, but to me the end result just doesn't look like the price (or even near to it).

I like the roses portion but the wire wrapping makes them look cheap. They are too expensive.
Cindy

Beautiful and unique. I love these!
Monique

Looks like those cheap polyester roses sold at convenience stores.

These are lovely, but a little spendy. Would purchase if the price was lower.
Tina Marie

cute but too expensive to give as a gift.
Darcy
Personally I don't like the art, but even if it was something I would get for another...I don't like the price.
Amanda
Vote: Thumbs down!
it's kind of cool with the jade and the roses and the wire, but I think as a pin would be better. a necklace isn't as practical
Jessica
Vote: Thumbs down!
Strange.
Janet
Vote: Thumbs down!
The flowers are a bit tacky and not attractive at all.
Ann
Vote: Thumbs down!
It looks like something that you would find in a flea market/craft booth. Too expensive for something that looks like a $5 find. The chain looks like you could get it for .25 out of a bubblegum machine.
Alisha
Vote: Thumbs down!
I would never wear anything like that and especially something that is that expensive. I'm not a big fan of this at all.
Anita
Vote: Thumbs down!
Too crazy for my taste! Also very expensive!
Amanda

Too gaudy.

Again, not very interesting to me.Most of the jewelry at Uncommon Goods is not very interesting to me.
Brandi
Vote: Thumbs down!
Kind of a kitschy, fun idea, but not interested in buying for anywhere near that price.

The necklace is pretty but the price is crazy.
Sara

Yikes. Extremely tacky.

cute but not sure if it would appeal to the younger audience. The flowers are beautifully done however I dont care much for the wire wrapping on the bottom. Seems unfinished.

I'm not sure how I feel about these, like another reviewer noted I think the wire work could be done better.
erin

I probably wouldn't wear it, personally, but I can think of friends who definitely would.
Jeannie
Vote: Thumbs down!
Expensive and just not my style. I can only envision a young girl wearing this and at $98 its too expensive to gift to someone so young. Tacky.
Julie

I like hte idea, but would never pay $100 for it.
Barbara

Recycled sterling silver????
Janet
Vote: Thumbs down!
Really? Nearly one hundred dollars for this? C'mon, guys. I like unique, but it also has to be beautiful and require skill. These are tacky.

Cute, but pricey
Andrea
Vote: Thumbs down!
Not to offend anyone but I really don't like the look of the necklace. I looks like something that I could make myself, but much more expensive. Maybe if the wire was not used and instead just wrapped with a sheet of silver it would look more intricate.
kathleen
Vote: Thumbs up!
beautiful
Rob
Vote: Thumbs down!
The wire "Vase" is messy. Take away the vase and show wire "Stems." That might be prettier.
Bethany

I love the idea, but too pricey for my pocketbook...
Angie

don't like the look
Kathryn

They look kinda cool from close up when you see how they're made, but tacky from far away.

just not that attractive - a single rose would be prettier.

They look like they would scratch
Daniel

Looks like bad crafts fair stuff.
jeanne

Nice idea but it should be removable to wear as a pin also.

Rather cute idea BUT who would want to pay $98 for it? Drop the price by about half and I'd give it a go.

Unique, but definitely priced too high. Doesn't look to be high enough quality to warrant $100 price tag.

Tacky, cheap looking. My mother would be upset if I got her this, especially for the price, she would much prefer real roses. I cannot imagine any 20-40 year old wearing this.

Absolutely love this! Considering how much some flowers are for "special occasions" I'd definately prefer something like this.

Hi again, I'm the artist who crafted these. It's been interesting reading the comments here, and I would like to address just a couple of things brought up:- The chain (which is high quality sterling made in the USA) is 20" long.- The wire is not scratchy- The price is a reflection of the precious metals market and the fact that this is handmade in the USAThe main complaint I've seen on all the silver jewelry here at UG is price. Please go look up the precious metals market an see how prices have more than doubled in the last year (and still seem to be rising).And please, do not compare items made of high quality material in the USA to items made with cheap material in countries where workers are not paid at the same rate.But hey, if you think it's tacky then you're entitled to your opinion. :)Thanks,Ellen
Kelly
Vote: Thumbs down!
A little too expensive...love the roses, but my first thought was that you could get poked by either the wire or flowers while wearing it. I'd like to see the flowers in another setting.
