Perfect for I needed
It was exactly what I needed and well worth the money. I will purchase from them again.

Color is not accurate
The purple necklace shown is a lavender to maybe a medium purple. What arrived is such a dark purple it is nearly black. Still beautiful, but was purchased to go with a specific outfit that it no longer goes well with.

Cute beads are quite nice
SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) used these beads on a bumblebee themed hoodie she knitted for an infant. The beads are quite nice and well crafted.

Don’t buy this.
Looks and feels cheep. Colors are good.

Rather Ugly
Clearly this is a simple, inexpensive necklace and I was expecting just that. I was aghast when I opened the package. Although the hand-made paper beads held promise and could have made an interesting necklace, the rubber beads chosen for the rest of the necklace were cheesy, cheap and butt ugly. It was so offensive that I quickly wrapped it back up and sent it along it’s way.
