This bracelet arrived broken in its plastic sleeve.  The metal piece that is inserted into the crystal bead was pulled out and did not go back in.  The bracelet came stapled to a cardstock backer, and that may have been the issue (perhaps it was stapled with too much tension on the chain).  I began to wonder if it came already broken that if it had come whole, how long would it stay that way?  The crystal beads were very pretty though and the crystals were well lined up to be visually appealing, showing some nice workmanship.  However, the metal that attaches to them must have been screwed in.  It would have been far better to have a long bar going through a drilled hole so that this wouldn't happen.
