Beautiful and well made!”

I purchased this as a gift for a friend and it was a hit! She loved it! The necklace is very well made. I know that when I purchase things with lots of beads strung together, I often worry about the craftsmanship because Ive had more than one come apart. That was not the case with this item. It felt very sturdy and it was absolutely beautiful. I loved the color, the length was just right, and it was easy to clasp.

Beautiful!”

A very colorful necklace that is a good length. I would love if it could be adjustable, but this length does work with a lot of my clothing.

Lovely bracelet”

This feels so good on the wrist. Not heavy and the wood pieces are smooth. The colors I received are not as light and colorful as those pictured. More brownish. But beautifully made.

sturdy comfortable unusual casual bracelet
