These aren't the pretend pearls from your youth.
They actually feel very nice, the elastic in the bracelets was the perfect size for me.
I absolutely love these.

For those who are more picky about these things, please note that while the two bracelets with the bigger pearls are the same size, the smaller one has a few more pearls on it so it fits a smidge looser than the other two. Not a problem for me though.
