Love them!!
These beads are beautiful and quite substantial. I used them in a bowl on my coffee table but they would also look great draped over a stack of books! This is my third set of beads from this seller and I am impressed with all of them!!

Substantial Beads
These are as described and a little larger than expected. I’m very happy with the quality, weight and look of them. I’m wearing them as is with the raffia rope.
