I like this bead a lot.  I like the fact you can see through it.  I also like the gold tone, this breaks up the silver on the bracelet nicely, the price is good.  I need a few more but it seems like you are limited to buying one at a time?  I had to come back on another occasion to get another.  The gold tone seems to last.  I bought some a few years ago and came back for more.
