These were the very first beads that I selected to begin building my Pandora bracelet.  I could not be more pleased!  The flowers are three dimensional and have quite a bit of depth behind the smooth glass of the bead so when you look at the bead from the side you don't just see clear glass but you actually see the flowers coming up from the core of the bead.  The colors are vibrant as well.  This bead is a beautiful mix of pink/white on crimson red and the hint of green threading really stands out and gives the bead a lot of character.  The red is a deeper, not bright, red which I love.  Queenberry's service was outstanding as well. The beads arrived quickly and were nicely packaged.  I ordered 10 different beads and each was in its own little bag so that it did not damage the other beads it was packed with.  Outstanding!
