This bead is beautiful!  In fact I've been pleased with all of these birthstone beads I've ordered. My daughter was blown away with her bracelet which is mostly pinks with some lime greens. This is the center bead & I used 2 green foil beads towards the ends of bracelet with 2 of the pink & green murano glass beads also. I use from 10-15 beads /c SS spacer beads between. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
