"not as shown"

The picture shows a nicely tumbled rock bracelet. The one I received was just pointy chips, like one might find in any craft store. Very disappointed, will likely never wear it. A low price so not bothering to return.

"Nice & dainty~"

Theyre a sweet pair of earrings; quality is good & price was fair...I was, however a bit disappointed in the lackluster color of the stones, they appeared a deeper blue online; also, I didnt really care for the hammered effect on the curls...Ill probably gift them to someone for Christmas!
