These beads are STUNNING. It is hard to tell in the picture, but the coppery-brown streaks are actually slightly shimmery, and the blue is quite transparent. They are incredibly interesting and unique. We actually couldn't pick any beads that did them justice in combination and opted to just let them stand alone. The customer service AMAZING! They went above and beyond to compensate for a mistake I made (I forgot some stuff on my order, and they hustled to add it in to my previous order instead of asking me to make a whole new order). The package arrived promptly (as promptly as possible during the holiday season!) I strongly recommend this shop.
