"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.

"Red Radience"

Already had the necklace and could not believe finding this bracelet to match. I love its vibrant color and the adjustability. It is a miniature torsade. It is made well and shipped quickly and can not wait to wear it often.

"Beautiful necklace!"

Love this colorful, substantial necklace. I just adore turquoise, but it can be very heavy. This is lightweight and adds that lovely turquoise pop of color to your wardrobe! Very well made and a versatile addition to my wardrobe! Thank you Sumalee Nawakul!
