Considering that these necklaces cost about .14 per piece, you do get a good value for the money.  However, I highly recommend that when you buy them, just know you'll have to repair a lot of them.  So at least have two small needle-nosed pliers and extra silver lobster claws on hand.  I had to replace about 10 of the lobster claws because they simply arrived broken.  If you don't make jewelry and know how to open and close jump rings properly, check out Yvonne Williams on Youtube.  She has lots of great videos where she explains how to do that.  The jumprings are the tiny circle of metal that connects the lobster claw to the rest of the necklace.  Jewelry makers will know that, of course, but not everyone does.  So far I've been able to repair and use every cord, even if it falls apart, but I have all the jewelry tools, replacement parts, and knowledge to do that.  If you don't, want to deal with repairs, just accept that about 1/10th of necklaces will be unusable and buy enough to cover what you need.  I will say this, the colors are quite nice, but almost half of my ribbons were yellow or gold - my two least favorite colors.  I wish they had put in a lot more of the dark green, black, and ANY teals.  There were absolutely no teals in my package, and many of my costumers love that color.  The cords and ribbon are somewhat stiff, but I'm hoping the weight of any pendant I put on them, will pull that stiffness out somewhat, over time.  I'm using these for very cheap fundraiser necklaces that I can quickly, and cheaply mass produce.  I would not recommend them for heavy beading or nice, more expensive necklaces.
