First, the positive: these arrived quicker than expected - so, yay! After reading mostly positive reviews on these beads, I was excited to receieve them faster than Amazon had predicted their arrival date to be. However, once I opened them up, I was mostly disappointed. Some of them are nice, but out of the 10, I probably won't wear 7 of them. Maybe I can find someone else to give them to that will enjoy them. Overall, an "okay" rating on these ones...
