I was very impressed with this bracelet because I was expecting for the material to be very cheap but to my surprise it came out to be very vibrant and durable. These shells are very real and are in great condition! I bought this for my sister's friend as a gift for her to have matching anklets and bracelets. They are a good size a little bigger than I expected as well. I love the strap on this bracelet it's very natural and made of nature. It's really cool and my sister's friend loved it! Shipping took a while but it still made it in time of the estimated delivery.
