Oh my...I am sad to say that this little gem is not a gem...it fades on my wrist...it looks not so pretty when you actually see it in person...the beads appear to be a very inexpensive painted wood...that again...left my wrist rainbow hued...

There are many other Zen bracelets from this maker that are lovely without the wooden beads.  I am still not a fan of the wooden beads.

I am happy to say that this company was very concerned about my experience with this bracelet and did everything they could to fix the issue and they did.
