Justinstones Gem Semi Precious Gemstone 8mm Round Beads Stretch Bracelet 7 Inch Unisex

Natural A Grade Amethyst from Justinstones... Eh. Not at all what I expected based on the picture. Doesn't look like grade A amethyst at all. It truly appears to be just hard plastic clear-purple beads. Totally clear, completely uniform, with no variation in color or pattern that you'd expect to see in a string of actual amethyst. It looks cheap. Like something from the dollare store... Just clear beads. You can see the cord inside. On a positive note, the stretchy band inside seems strong. I'm rather disappointed with it. It came in a zipper style cushioned package and shipped fast without damage. I just was expecting something that wasn't completely clear and had some variation to it like you see in the picture here. I mean, it was under $10 bucks so I wasn't expecting anything truly HIGH quality, but definitely less "bubble gum" machine. =/(The Green Dragon Agate you see in the picture came from another seller, same price, much better quality and as pictured/expected. I'll probably send this one back and order an amethyst one from them instead. That one I am VERY happy with.)

Was looking to get a bday gift for my sister. I'm glad I didn't send them straight to her because I got baby earrings instead of an amethyst bracelet.

Just as described. The labradorite is especially pretty, and Rose quartz a great pink color but i'm wondering if it's dyed? there is a dent in one of the beads (natural) but there is a dark pink color inside it, which leads me to believe they are all dyed? Great size. These are the 8mm. Would be too tight if my wrists were any larger (they are about 6.5 inches, and these bracelets are 6.5-7 inches around). The labradorite has some sort of shimmer in it, which is very pretty, but i hope it's natural and not an artificial inclusion. Oh, and one more thing: on the rose beads, one of them (so far) is chipped at the hole, so no biggie, it's hidden, i just hope it doesn't cause a break early on.Update: worn for about an hour: dents in my arm. Not a dealbreaker though

Very nice bracelet for the money. Nice looking and comfortable. I have several and wear one most days next to my plain wrist watch.The only complaint I have is that the elastic fibers that hold the beads together eventually shred and break. There are multiple fibers, so it doesn't fall apart all at once. But eventually enough strands will break to where you don't want to wear it any more in order to avoid spilling beads all over when it does eventually break. I have bought other similar bracelets with elastic strands that were not as durable, so the bracelet didn't stay together as long as these.Durability is very high on my requirements list for most products that I buy. If these bracelets were more expensive, I would give them a lower rating and would not buy them. So for the price, they are an OK value. I wish I could find this kind of bracelet that would hold up to longer wear. But that would likely require replacing the elastic with a non-stretching cord with clasp, and a clasp breaks the look of the ring of beads, requires effort to put on and take off, and is sometimes uncomfortable.

Bought this bracelet for my wife as a small gift. She seems to like it and it fits well.If you're not familiar with labradorite, it's got this really cool sheen/reflection that changes as you move it around, kind of like a hologram. You can't see the effect in a photograph, but it's really neat. I've never seen that in any other type of stone.

I have several other bracelets from this company that were good, but this one is awful and SMALL! Beads are smaller and ugly and not Grade A Labrodorite and the size of the bracelet is much smaller than expected. It's tight on my wrist and I have a rather small 5.75 inch wrist. I've seen bad Labrodorite before and this bracelet is worse than that. I was stunned when I opened the package, I didn't expect it to be that good at this price but I did expect it to be wearable. I would love to return it but don't have a working printer to print a return label (I'm disabled and can't get out and about), not sure what I can do about this. Disappointed.

Bought on Nov 7th for my wife.After a couple of weeks use the gem colours faded away and they are all lacklustre.In the picture taken it is easy to see that the spare beads which have not been used are bright and shiny, in the other hand the ones in the bracelet are a bit faded and lost their shininess with only a couple of weeks of use which amazed me.I have also noticed that all the beads look too uniform and identical.They don’t feel like genuine malachite gemstones as advertised and something already brought up from some of the past reviews which raise my concern of the legitimacy of those gemstones.Buyer advice: STAY AWAY

I purchased three bracelets from this brand at the same time. Opened the first: the outer packaging bag was nice. You had to tear it open but it has ziploc closure if you want to reuse. The smaller jewelry bag the bracelet comes in is a nice turquoise color and very soft with a drawstring. The bracelet itself was nice! Beautiful colors (I purchased fluorite, citrine, and aventurine.) Unfortunately, when I opened the 2nd packaging, the inner jewelry bag was completely empty inside! So I had a completely sealed outer bag and a totally empty inner jewelry bag. Luckily Amazon is amazing at refunds, but fair warning: another person got child's earrings inside, mine had nothing at all! Don't send this as a gift in case this happens to you!
