"Seeing Red!"
Just arrived. This torsade necklace is perfect. Love the rich red color. The knotting in between is something one does not usually find as a feature of this style and price point. The knotting does not take away from the beads themselves and that is an added plus. The adjustability is fabulous so easily achieved and can be donned and removed with ease. Two lengths and twisting for a true torsade make for a striking and memorable signature piece worn around the neck, whether wearing a dress or teeshirt. Plan to enjoy it. Lightweight and that adds to the perfection of this torsade. Wish more stars could be given because I see red so beautifully done.

"beautiful, versatile necklace"
This necklace is just BEAUTIFUL. I will wear it often. The short or longer length make it versatile and the color is perfect and seems in different lighting to change color so using it as black or brown is what Iam going to do.

"great necklace!"
The necklace is very nice but a bit short for an average neck. I wish it was two inches longer :)

"Bold and bohemian"
This is a thick necklace, a statement piece, I think, that is beautifully made. I had doubts about the clasp before buying, but it seems to hold pretty securely. I wouldnt necessarily wear it to work as a professional piece, but for casual wear it works great!
