Review on TAMOYO Amethyst Decorative String Lights - LED Fairy String Lights - Battery Operated with Remote - 10 FT - 30 LEDs - Crystal Lights - for Bedroom, Indoor, Outdoor, Party, Wedding, Birthday by Katie Johnson

I was surprised when I got a cord with a real amethyst attached to it! That makes it heavy, but the thickness of the wire makes it drape well and the weight doesn't affect it too much. The ability to dim the lights and set a 2 hour or 6 hour timer is great - the new batteries at full brightness are too bright to sleep on. I haven't bothered to use fancy patterns, but there are speed and brightness controls for those too if you want. In the end, it's just a garland of garlands with real amethyst glued on top with epoxy. It will probably cost you about the same amount of materials to craft it yourself. It uses 3 AA batteries and will drain them quickly unless you use the auto-off timers, just as a warning.
