For my step mother's birthday I bought her the real pandora bracelet for $100 without the charms.  I wanted to get her a birthstone for each of the 7 grandchildren to start out.  I didn't like pandora's selection on birthstones and at $25-$30 a piece I was looking at another $200 which I didn't want to do.  I ordered 7 of these in the colors I needed to put on the pandora bracelet.  They do fit, but the look of them is very cheap.  Hoping step mom still likes it because it was still expensive to order so many.  This company didn't have October or November so I had to order them from someone else, they haven't arrived yet.  I did get 3 of the July "ruby" and 2 of the January "garnet".  The colors are what they should be, but they have kind of a gumball machine cheap feel to them. Still going to give them as the gift because I don't have much other options.  Didn't expect them to be amazing at the price, but a little disappointed in the quality.
