I was really looking forward to getting this bracelet after having read the glowing reviews. At the price of just over $3, I can't really be too angry or surprised that it didn't end up being what I hoped. When I recieved the bracelet, it looked pretty nice, and I agree with other reviewers that the bungee by which the beads are connected is sturdy. As for the beads? They are awful! They looked good for exactly one day. Within 24 hours, they started to turn blue! They have not been exposed to water or chemicals of any kind. It appears as though there was an ultra thin varnish on the beads to give them a bit of shine and it is already mostly gone!  They started off brown and now have this weird bluish/greenish patina. They look worn and old and cheap. I can't explain what happened here, but what started off as a nice looking product is deteriorating at a rapid clip. No big loss at this price, but next time I will spend a little more money.
Interestingly, the product page says this bracelet is usually $50+. Ha ha ha! I would be having a coronary right this instant if I had paid that.
The picture provided is misleading. The beads look polished to a high shine. The beads on my bracelet are cheap and the varnish is useless, as it cannot stand up to mere air. Don't buy.
I have published a photo of the aforementioned bracelet. You can view it on the product page and judge for yourself.

Update: After a few weeks of having the bracelet, it has actually settled into having a really earthy look (once all the varnish wore off). I am actually liking it much more now. I changed my original one star to three stars. As I mentioned before, for the cost of $3, you don't have much to lose in buying :)
