I normally read reviews before purchasing - didn't on this, wish I had - to the seller's credit, it does say "silver plated" - I saw 2 for 1 - you get what you pay for.  There is one review that says its comparable to a $100 department store bracelet - that got a major LOL from me. I shelled out $20 bucks all said and done so I'll keep them, give one to my 12 yr old and save the other for one of her friends.  If you are purchasing for yourself or a loved one and don't want to look cheap - save your money and get the real thing!!!
