UPDATE AS OF 12/7/2011
I received an email from the Operations Manager who told me the item on the right was a guest designer’s piece, which has since been removed from Shabby Apple. As a peace offering, they’re sending me a complimentary jewelry item, which I have yet to receive.
Also, I gave Shabby Apple another chance and was letdown yet again. I ordered earrings that arrived damaged and the earring backs were loose and kept falling off. You need to know that I literally tried them on, took them off, and put them back in the package. I will never shop at Shabby Apple ever again.

Shabby Apple
Small Silver Pendant Necklace | Retail: $32.00
I don’t like giving negative reviews. At all. If possible, I try and find the good in anything and everything, but when nothing comes to mind, I’m not going to lie.
I was on a friend’s blog and saw a banner for Shabby Apple. I was instantly drawn to the clothing and jewelry to the point where I knew I’d end up purchasing something. I stumbled across the Small Silver Pendant Necklace and thought it would go perfectly with several outfits. Well, I ordered the necklace on the 2nd of this month and received it a week ago. I take care of all my jewelry so I made sure to never wear it in the shower and remove it before bed.
As shown below, the clasp started to rust. I tried polishing it but ended up with a very shiny, rustic-looking piece. I realize that people don’t see the clasp, but that doesn’t mean it should start deteriorating in a matter of a week. (Also, if I wear my hair up, people could see it so ha!) To make matters worse, customer service/shipping is handled by one person and that doesn’t help when someone needs a prompt answer to a simple question.
I’m returning the necklace not for an exchange but a complete refund. I rather pay a lot of money for a necklace that will last.
ck.
