Review on 💎 Creative Stuff Glass Gems - 1lb Teal Vase Fillers - Sparkle and Decorate with Glass Gems by Paul Williams

After months of searching for this particular gemstone color and type, I finally found it. So excited. But so disappointed when it finally arrived. The first thing that struck me right away was how much smaller they are compared to other products bought at craft stores or elsewhere. I didn't want less, at least I would like more. If you look at the first picture you can see how much smaller they are (plum color) compared to the medium sizes (green color) sold at craft stores near me. The following picture shows them on a white background. My use for them will be on a white background. It's hard to tell until you look at the third picture, but all of the gems are not as solid as the green ones in the first picture. You can see that there is a color in the center of the gemstone that fades and becomes almost transparent towards the edges. This isn't what I was hoping for either. You certainly won't get the effect you're hoping for, as the color will fade and become transparent around the edges. Not sure about the other colors but the plum gemstone was a big disappointment. For the price paid I am very disappointed with this product. Definitely overpriced. Will I buy gems from this company again? no I don't need the little gems I have. I like the medium size they sell at craft stores. Are there any benefits to this? Yes. The color is exactly what I wanted, plum not purple. I just wanted it to be plum colored throughout the gem. My mancala game needed a few more gems and they are the perfect size for this game.
