When I received this item in the mail I opened it and one of the strands was broken.  So instead of returning them I stitched it back myself.  So after all of that I finally gave them to my wife and when she went to put them on the strands on both sides broke off.  Now my wife is not a large woman she is 115 lbs. and I warn everyone that this item is a piece of crap it is poorly made and obviously not worth the price I paid!!!
