"What a great necklace!"
Wonderful, I do believe I will have to order the other colours as well! This will look fabulous in the summer with a white top and tan.

"Orange is for special people!"
I ordered this wooden bead necklace for myself but just before it arrived my daughter-in-law told me how much she likes the color orange so it was saved for her birthday. She was very happily surprised. Theyre eye-catching, each bead is smoothly made and they are long enough to wear with many things. really pretty on white in the summer.

"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!

"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.
