I purchased the amethyst bracelet, and it arrived as expected and looks great.  The beads are good quality and seem to be of real amethyst as promised.  No two beads look alike, and it makes for a unique, chic look.  You'd never guess it was an 8.00 bracelet.  My only criticism is the bracelet itself is kind of large and even when the strings are pulled taut, it is pretty loose on my wrist.  I wish they offered a smaller option as my wrists measure about 5 3/4" and the bracelet is loose on them.  Other than that, though, there are no complaints.  This is a beautiful bracelet and I will probably order more in different colors as well as a few for gifts.
