I'm not going to lie -- I was a bit concerned this bracelet might be a little hippy dippy for my tastes. But it's not! The beads are really lovely and nicely variegated, it's a good solid weight. I feel like I'm wearing a sophisticated grown-up version of the candy bracelets I loved as a kid. I know I'm going to get a ton of wear out of this one! Would also make a great gift, as it arrived in a velvet sack in a black box. Beautiful!
