80Pcs Natural Blue Sodalite Crystal Beads - 10mm Round Gemstone Loose Beads for Jewelry Making, Energy Healing & Chakra Balancing - DIY Bracelet, Necklace & Home Decor Craft Supplies

I usually don't do detailed reviews like this one but I felt like I had to let others know about these beautiful Tiger Eye beads! I make and sell my own jewelry which is another reason I decided to this review.1st let me comment on the price and say you will NOT find 100 Tiger Eye beads that look as amazing as these do for such a low price. I usually pay between $5 and $8 dollars for just 45-60 of these beads, depending on the color. Now I, myself, perfer beads on the smaller sizes of 4mm and 6mm and I still pay that amount or more if i get multi-colors. So 100 multicolor Tiger eye beads for only $12.99.....it almost feels like I'm taking advantage of the seller!. You even get stretch cord for making bracelets with the beads for FREE! And who don't like free stuff nowadays?!!Now onto the beads themselves and just know that the pictures do them no justice in capturing what they really look like when your holding these beads in your hand. The colors are just ABSOLUTELY beautiful, amazing, wonderful and "eye" catching! ? I love tiger eye and cats eye type beads but for those out there that are also jewelry makers such as myself, we all know when it comes between what beads look like the picture and what the beads actually look like when in hand, aren't always the same. I've epecially found this to be true when it comes to Tiger Eye and Cat Eye type of beads. So I didn't have high hopes when deciding to purchase these beads but I should have because the beads were way beyond what I was expecting and almost look like they should be put on display for the world to see rather than made into jewelry. I unfortunately do have only 1 issue that has me upset and that's I wish I would have a gotten more than 1 pack of these and as well as other colors. But I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY and DEFINITELY WILL be ordering more! These are now my go-to Tiger eye beads when purchasing more in the future as well!!In conclusion 1st let me say that NO ONE has paid or offered me anything to do this review. I do NOT belong to any groups that review products and in return for their review, they get to keep that product. My review of these beads was a decision made by me and entirely me alone. If I could give these beads more than 5 stars, I would give them xfinity stars because thats how many stars these beads deserve. As a jewelry maker I buy my product based on more then just the quality and quantity of the product. I have no issues with handing a little extra money out for a same kind of product that I might have already bought before at a cheaper price. Its not all about money to me and if I myself don't at least like something about the product I buy, then how can I expect my current customers or be able to draw in new new customers? Even if that means I take a loss. I don't make and sell my jewelry because its my only source of income. I probably make and give away my jewelry for free more then I sell it. ? I already have 5 different customers of mine wanting bracelets made with these Tiger eye beads alao and I only just received the beads yesterday. So to one jewelry maker to another.......if you're not sure on whether or not to buy these Tiger Eye beads, rest assure you WON'T regret your decision to do so! Your customers will absolutely love them!
