Lovely and Unusual..
This is a truly lovely necklace. It is made from recycled paper, and glass seed beads. It is very unusual and sure to garner compliments. It arrived on time and in perfect condition.

Pretty necklace, bad fastening
I like the necklace very much, the only negative is the catch it’s difficult to open and close. It’s a screw type and hard to line up so I find it a little easier to bring the catch to the front. I will be keeping it.

I liked the necklace but I wanted the color advertised. What I received was an entirely different color choice that I could it accept.
