Review on 400Pcs Natural Chip Stone Beads 5-8Mm, Multicolor Gemstone Healing Crystal DIY Bracelet Jewelry Making by Stephanie Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

So-so quality: don't expect much.

These definitely don't live up to the product's suppossed photograph. In reality, maybe half of them are so-so/OK. The other half are all or mostly plain, ugly gray, some with a few tiny flects of blue, but not enough to change the overall effect from boring gray. Also, some of them are clearly rejects, having been drilled twice, and showing a first, broken-out hole along with the second hole, which makes them look very cheap. As such, they would be unusable for any project where quality mattered. But, "you get what you pay for", (at least some of the time). Also, a lot of the ones with good blue color (on one side, anyway), are of weird, akward shapes, which also gives one the impression that these are mostly rejects from an operation that sells their good stones to a higher-level clientelle. If you figure that maybe 30% of these are reasonably usable, and purhase them accordingly (amortizing the price), then you will have your "eyes wide open" and won't be very dissappointed.

Pros
  • These beads are a cost-effective alternative to traditional gemstone beads, making it accessible to all budgets
Cons
  • Some stones may have a less polished appearance than others
