Review on R FLOWER Unfinished Natural Jewelry Bracelet by Nicole Mcleod

I don't know what the smell is but it's so strong that we can't use them. I've tried airing them out, even decorating them, but the smell is still terrible. It almost smells like Vick's steam ointment which has a time and place but not on my beans and I can't even use this product. Can't return as I've already changed them. I did different things but one of them was to paint them. I can say that not all pearls are evenly colored and some have darker spots. I don't mind as I will look more rustic but just trying to take a picture for this review is killing my head with the smell! If anyone knows how to get rid of this please let me know. Also, they were all colored at the same time, so that's not the reason for the color change.
