"Beautiful Birthday Gift"

When I ordered this bracelet for my daughter's birthday, I was a bit worried that it might not get to her in time. I was NOT disappointed! I was amazed how quickly it arrived from Peru! She loved the bracelet! It was beautifully crafted. The beads were delicate and was as pictured. It was a beautiful color. Thank you again!

"Birthday gift"

The bracelet is pretty. But, unlike the one in the picture that looks larger and more sturdy, the one I received is tiny, delicate and very fragile looking. I sincerely hope it will not fall apart .Sorry I couldnt give it more stars.Louis

"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!
