This bead is really pretty, but I expected the color to be a little deeper.  The murano glass is very nice but I was a little disappointed in the opaqueness of the bead.  I wanted a little more "pop" of color, while this is sedate but pretty.  It's smaller than the pandora beads but not too small.  I am keeping the charm on my bracelet; it blends well.  As usual Amazon and its suppliers did a great job with order and delivery.
