Thankfully this headpiece came enclosed in a plastic bag. The majority of the dangling beaded strings were broken and the beads spilled off into the bag. I poured the beads into a bowl and devoted significant time (about one hour a day for 3 days) to restringing the beads and then re-attaching them to the headpiece. It shipped quickly and was well but honestly the product itself was garbage. Save your money and buy something from a store that you can see and inspect.
