I am putting a Christmas bracelet together and am using a couple of these beads to provide glitter to my masterpiece. I was also in search of the "Perfect Red Bead" for my bracelet but I was not looking for a glitter bead for that definition, just a flat red bead. I piced Bling's "Glitter Red" bead for the regular red bead and this bead to give emphasis and bling. I did note that Bling also makes a bead like this but it costs $2.00 more for the same product. Depending on shipping costs which do vary from time to time, this may be the best red or the Bling red may be best. At the time of this writing, this one is the least expensive product. I own both. This is a true Cherry Red, while the other is a bit darker. I will put a link to the other bead, so just check prices and get the best buy. I have had both beads for about 5 months each and each bead is well made and has lost no crystals. It is beautiful and sparkles in the sun like many diamonds. I will certainly buy it again if I need a red glitter bead...assuming that price is on its side at the time. The beads vary in color only a little; otherwise, are equal in shape, size and shineability!<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bling-Jewelry-Sterling-Silver-Red-Crystal-Bead-Pandora-Chamilia-Charm-Bead-Compatible/dp/B00478LFEG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bling Jewelry Sterling Silver Red Crystal Bead Pandora Chamilia Charm Bead Compatible</a><a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bling-Jewelry-Glitter-Red-925-Sterling-Silver-Murano-Glass-Bead-Troll-Pandora-Compatible/dp/B0042Z1GSY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bling Jewelry Glitter Red 925 Sterling Silver Murano Glass Bead Troll Pandora Compatible</a><a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bling-Jewelry-Red-925-Sterling-Silver-Faceted-Crystal-Bead-Pandora-Compatible/dp/B0042YY83K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bling Jewelry Red 925 Sterling Silver Faceted Crystal Bead Pandora Compatible</a><a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bling-Jewelry-Assorted-Red-Murano-Glass-Bead-Bundle-925-Sterling-Silver-Pandora-Compatible/dp/B004S7SVBG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bling Jewelry Assorted Red Murano Glass Bead Bundle .925 Sterling Silver Pandora Compatible</a>
