I must say I love all my beads that I have received from Bling; however, this bracelet --not so much. I have only had it one month. After 2 weeks, the pink began to wear off from the beads. The more beads the more scratches. I am very careful with it--no water, etc. I should not have invested in this.....sterling silver bracelet is probably best. I will have to buy a different bracelet.
