The necklace looks pretty good for the price. The first thing I noticed was the cut of the stones. They all have a flat top to them. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but they definitely didn't look as attractive, in my eyes, as more traditionally cut rocks. The face of each CZ isn't completely flat - it does taper off - but only at the edges. On a positive note, they sparkle nicely, given adequate light. The platinum dip provides a nice finish. Overall, it's a very nice deal for under a Jackson. If you regularly wear Tiffany diamonds, I doubt these would satisfy you. To 99% of the rest of the world (pretty much all men included), these look great, especially for the money. The chain is fairly standard and replaceable, as the cross is a charm.
They come in a little cardboard box and a dark blue, stiff, "peach fuzz material" drawstring bag. You can't buy costume jewelry from any of the walk in stores any better than this per dollar.
EDIT: after showing this to a couple of women and subsequently comparing it to real diamonds (price unknown), I can see that the piece doesn't have the true "uneven" sparkle or brilliance of the authentic. Not to be expected, but maybe a trained eye *can* pick up the fact that these aren't real. Just throwing that out there..
