I love these beads! I have wanted some since I had seen them at a bead shop years ago and was so pleased to find Bead Chest online where there are a couple of different strands available at great prices. My beads arrived quickly and well packaged. Very happy and will definitely order from here again.
I loved these beads, unfortunately, the hole size is too small for my designs; I would compromise the bead if I were to attempt reaming a larger hole. But... absolutely gorgeous beads! Wish they would have worked for me.
