Got this set yesterday. I love the earrings and the purse. As noted by Darthstar76, the gold coin on the necklace is a bit odd. I find it funny that it isn't silver since silver is the main metal color used in SW jewelry (and personally I think it would look better with the blue of the necklace). It is also funny that the coin has no design on it. It ends up looking okay, but they could have done better.
My biggest complaint is with the bracelet. Mine came twisted, but I just untwisted it. I also have trouble getting it on her wrist (I have Lanie with her bracelets and they are hard to get on, but not almost impossible like this one is). Also, the threads (and I do mean threads) that the coral beads are on look like they are going to break at any minute. I would NEVER give this to a child, it would be broken in a couple of days. I imagine that if the thread doesn't break, the rubbing of the thread against the metal clasp will cause it to fray and break. This will not be getting much use in my house and will be put away (or else I'll see about getting a second one via replacement parts).
Overall I'd give the set a B. I love the concept of the jewelry, but the bracelet is a fail and the necklace is only a C due to design issues. A+ on the purse and the earrings.
