I purchased this necklace in April 2009 for $153.72. It came with (1) navy cord. It is truly stunning. I should wear it more often - thanks for reminding me! One caution: as reported by others, I also have had problems with the magnets coming out of these magnetic cords.

I knew I could count on the girls here!! Thanks for checking it out for me!!

Yeah, the cord magnets do that, but a little super glue solves that, so no worries!!! I think people have a tendency to just pull straight out when unfastening these cords, when they should kind of "peel" them off...

Wow, this is one I have and completely forgot about...it has been sitting in the back of the jewelry box drawer (never do I pull it all the way out...gotta start doing that!) My daughter calls this one the magnifying glass. It is a cool piece for sure!

I don't have this one (beautiful, BTW) but I have the smoky quarts heart on cord J56706. Anyone remember it? I still wear it, love it and get so many compliments. Never had a problem with the magnets.

I do remember that one -- one of my regrets, because I returned it. The SQ was a very soft, pale color, and I prefer the deeper, sable tones, plus I recall it was pricey?

For anyone repairing your magnets with super glue, make sure the magnets are facing correctly, so they click, and not so they repel.

I have that one, and it's a beauty...there is a photo of me wearing it in this thread:http://community.qvc.com/forums/judith-ripka/topic/432557/j289235.aspx
