These spacers/stoppers look good, feel solid & do the job quite well. They are very shiny, bright & beautiful. When seeing my Pandora  bracelet for the first time, my daughter's first comment, what she noticed first & liked the best were these spacers!

Update: 5/19/12 I just received my latest purchase of these stoppers & was terribly disappointed. They were nothing like the original ones I purchased before - they are dull, smaller and also two of the four stoppers had sharp, rough edges that would certainly scratch other beads! Before, they were coated with rhodium if I recall that name correctly, which kept them shiny and tarnish-free. The silver now is not at all shiny or pretty but dull & cheap looking,  from this I would surmise there is no protective coating. I tried working with the 2 stoppers that had smooth edges and they would NOT even go on the bracelet! They look bad, they feel bad and I cannot use them.  Bling has cheapened a once-good product. Very sad, I was depending on Bling & thought them a very good place to shop. The picture here is not what they look like now.  The fellow I spoke to at the company said due to the price of silver, they've changed the product. Doesn't do much good if no one is buying it. Perhaps in future they will go back to the better way, increase the price accordingly. I don't think everyone wants cheap products. I will research other spacers.

Update: 6/12/12  Bling has let me know they are looking into these problems and do care about quality. I believe the fellow I spoke to on the phone about this issue initially was not speaking for the company! I wish I had known. Bling really cares about their customers which I found true before this problem came up. They've always been willing to do what it took to make me a happy customer & it looks like that attitude continues. If they take this spacer back to its old glory, which I think they are, there is no spacer that is better. Trust me, I've been looking.
