Gift Disappointment: A Close Look at Sokolov's Pendant
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently got a gift from Sokolov, a company that promised a unique and high-quality pendant. Unfortunately, my experience was a letdown. The packaging looked like something from a cheap candy wrapper, and the gifting process felt rushed and impersonal. I was asked to register on the spot, and then I got a number to confirm my registration - it felt like a weird throwback to the Soviet era. The pendant itself is made of silver, which is a nice touch, but the quality is just average. The chain is sturdy, but it's not adjustable, which is a bit of a hassle. I'm not impressed with the value for money and the build quality of this pendant. Here's a closer look at my experience.

Gift Disappointment: A Close Look at Sokolov's Pendant
I recently received a gift from Sokolov, a company that promised a unique and high-quality pendant. However, my experience was a letdown, and I'd like to share my thoughts on the product and the overall experience.
Getting the Gift
I walked into Sokolov, lured in by a flyer for a gift, and was asked to register on the spot. It felt like a weird throwback to the Soviet era. I had to provide my personal details, and then I was given a number to confirm my registration. After registering, I went back to the store, and they checked my number to confirm. It turned out I was already registered, but I had no memory of doing so.
That's when things got a bit awkward. The associate started trying to sell me a silver necklace to match the pendant, but as soon as I said I wasn't interested in buying anything, they handed me the gift. I was surprised they didn't even offer to let me choose a different pendant, which I'd read in other girls' reviews that they were given the option to do so.
Packaging
The crinkly cellophane packaging reminded me of a candy wrapper – it just didn't feel like high-end packaging to me. As I was fiddling with the package, the pendant popped out of the 'sealed' package. The seam in the middle had come undone, which wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.
Inside the Package
Inside, there's a sticker with information from the manufacturer. It stated that the pendant weighs 0.37 grams and features a fianite stone. The item is made of 800-grade silver, but I did some research online and found that you can't make jewelry out of this type of silver, only cutlery. I'm not even sure if it's silver – I couldn't find any proof!
The Pendant
I got a gift-surprise in the form of a tiny droplet, containing a beautiful shiny fianite stone inside. The cut on the stone is gorgeous, and it really sparkles in the sunlight. This little pendant is adorable. The pendant's walls are thin, but they're well-crafted. This pendant doesn't have a loop, so you'll need to thread the chain through the actual design. This type of pendant would look great in a lobe piercing. On the other hand, it might look a bit dull on a longer chain.
The Verdict
This pendant isn't bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one. There's nothing particularly special about it, and even if it is 800-grade silver, it'll still tarnish quickly – at least, that's what I've read. I was expecting a bit more from the packaging, but it felt cheap and flimsy. The fact that the pendant popped out of the package wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.
The fianite stone is gorgeous, and the pendant's design is cute. However, the overall experience was a letdown. I'd say it's a decent gift, but not something I'd rave about.
Thanks to everyone for reading! ^-^
