I have purchased many stone necklaces and bracelets here on amazon. I am usually pleased, but sometimes the stones are so solid-color, that they almost look like they could be plastic (even though they feel heavy, they just don't LOOK genuine.) Not these!!! They have beautiful veining/mottling in each bead. Of course the clear, hematite and black onyx are solid color. I posted a photo of the bracelets lined up so you could see the subtle variation in each bead, but also how none of the bracelets seem like they are made of mismatched stones.

The size of the bead (8mm) is very nice...not too big to bang around, but not too petite to not be noticed.) They are strung with stretchy clear cord, no clasp. If you look very hard, you can find the knot in some, I may try to slide a bead over it, as I don't like seeing it (even though it is hardly noticeable...I am fussy that way!! ha ha!)The length of the string itself is 7.5" , but the inside diameter (from the bead thickness) is about 6.75. So any wrist above that measurement will have the slight stretch. My wrist is 6.75 and the bracelet fits me well. The further up my arm I want to push the bracelet, the more it must stretch. Even wearing 3 at a time, they don't dig into my arm (like some smaller bracelets do.)

You get 10 bracelets in the set. I will try to list them, as the description doesn't name them all. I will go in the order from left to right from my photo:
1. Clear Crystal
2. White Howlite (a black & white marbleized bead)
3. Black Onyx (a solid shiny black)
4. Hematite (a gray, metallic looking bead)
5. Tiger Eye (very nice, shiny and striped tiger eye beads!)
6. Purple Amethyst (looks blue in my photo, but it is indeed purple)
7. Blue Lapis Lazuli (I think that is what it is, blue and white mottled beads)
8. Turquoise (very nice veined turquoise, not a plastic looking blue bead)
9. Brown Agate (different stones ranging in earthy tones from tan, orange-y to brownish)
10. Pink Agate (I think pink agate is the only one here that is dyed; not a naturally occurring color of stone, but it is very pretty.)

I really like the set. Nice, wearable colors (if you are looking for yellows and greens, this set doesn't really have those.) I would love a set of little leverback earrings with interchangeable stones to match these!

edit 6/30/12: I see amazon has updated their description and named some of the stones. One I didn't have listed was Adventurine...I think that is #9 (which I mistakenly called brown agate.) I still am not sure exactly of each stone, but I took my best guess.
