This little yellow bead is a Terrific Deal. I needed and additional Cat's eye type bead for a "My Cats" bracelet I put together. I could not remember how much it was, and still do not remember exactly, but it was $22.95 or $24.95 (actually 34.95. I peeked.) plus some small amount of shipping. I decided to do without. Then this bead became available and yellow is my favorite color, this bead is inexpensiive and so I decided to buy it because I frequently want "another yellow bead". When it came, I expected a plain, yellow bead. What I GOT was a bright yellow bead that shimmers just like the "cats eye" variety and I did not have to pay the big bucks. Now "My Cats" bracelet is complete with two yellow cats eye beads! (And don't you know that is the most important thing in the world!) I will probably end up ordering aother of these so that I have "that spare yellow bead" on hand when I need another yellow one. Because it shimmers and looks like a cats eye bead does not eliminate this bead from regular use. It just means you get More Than What You Paid For!. Good deal Save yourself some hard earned bucks and get this bead unless you are OCD and have to have the one the link goes to.:B003UIPLKI CleverSilver's Kera Sterling Silver Yellow Cat-Eye Glass Bead]]
