THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL "I LOVE YOU" BEAD THAT CAN BE USED FOR VALENTINE;S DAY OR ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE OCCASION. sOME OF THE VALENTINES BEAD COSTS WENT SKY HIGH WHEN THAT AWESOME DATE ROLLED AROUND. tHIS ONE DID NOT. IT STAYED IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN. THAT IS A GREAT BENEFIT CONSIDERING THAT IT TAKES 15 TO 20 BEADS, CHARMS, OR STOPPERS IN TOTO, TO FILL A PANDORA TYPE BRACELET. IN ALL, THE CONTRAST OF THE DARK RED BACKGROUND, WHITE SURROUNDING THE HEART AND THE LIGHTER RED OF THE HEART PORTRAY A LOVELY COMBINATION OF IDEAS, IDEALS, AND THOUGHTS. USE IT AT VALENTINES OR ANY OTHER TIME OF LOVE. I GAVE THIS TO A GOOD FRIEND WHO WAS FEELING A BIT LOW. pERKED HER UP. THAT IS WHAT GIFTS AND FRIENDS ARE FOR, SO SUPPORT THE VENDOR WHO KEEPS THE COSTS DOWN WHILE PRODUCING AND EXCELLENT PRODUCT. MY FRIEND LIKED THIS VERY MUCH AND I WAS PLEASED TO GIVE SUCH A PRETTY, HEART WARMING GIFT!
