gemstones

"The pictures don't do it justice" is a tired cliche, but in this case, it's completely true! The bracelet is a work of art, and the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. I could tell, immediately upon taking it out of the pretty little gift bag in which it was enclosed, that is was made by an artist who took pride in his work. This is NOT some cheap, mass-produced item from a factory in the land of novel viruses; rather, it is jewelry that I'd call heirloom quality. It truly is beautiful, it's nicely sized but not so huge that it'll be uncomfortable or awkward to wear, it arrived a little ahead of the shipping estimate, and she loves it. I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase!

The photos for this item make it look gaudy, and the stones appear large and synthetic. In truth, this is a delicate, elegant piece with a refined, classy appearance. It is gorgeous! And it sparkles!!! The colorful stones--which are set solidly in individual wells of sterling--are just the right size for a multigem necklace: not too big and not too small. Yes, as someone wrote in their review, the piece makes one feel like a princess. Do make sure that the chain isn't twisted even a little bit when you latch it, or otherwise the gems will easily turn upside down!

I ordered 3 - for me, my daughter and my best friend. I couldn't be more pleased! I get constant compliments and my bestie said the same thing.
