"Perfect!"

These are the perfect size and are high quality. The wires are not thin wires but real silver. Because of the subtle natural variations in blue colors, these compliment all my outfits with any blue in them. Love these!

"An everyday bracelet"

This bracelet is well made, my son has worn it since he received it as a gift from me. The chatoyancy of the tigers eye is beautiful.

"think of it more as a dainty choker..."

even my husband liked this...and i am such a fan of oxidized silver...normally i only go for longer necklaces, which i would love to see here, on a more supple chain/threading... however, this is suitably enchanting on its own choker-like and slightly stiff scale...the only complaint i have is the clasp, which could be more smoothly functional and less prone to twisting... and perhaps more charming...maybe oxidized...

"Love these beautiful earrings!"

I bought these to go with two new tops, and they were perfect for them. I love how lightweight and delicate these earrings are and the fact that theyre not too long. They are quite lovely!

"beautiful!"

These earrings are absolutely beautiful. The opal is such a beautiful color. The earrings are very light, which I love, and the length is perfect. I have ordered a number of times from Teodoro Melendez and Family and have always been very impressed by the great workmanship. Thank you!
