Like the pins, these new pendants are high quality. They are bit thinner than the pins (I was half expecting them to be pretty much the same as the pins, but with no pin, lol) but that makes them wear well n my opinion. The enamel is crisp and clean. The pendant stands out well against most color clothing. The chord it came with is a simple black with the same adjustable clasp as the ankh pendants, easily switched out for a chain if you'd rather have that.
