Gem Semi Precious Gemstone 8mm Round Beads Stretch Bracelet 7 Inch Unisex

I recently purchased an orange Sea Sediment Jasper necklace on a vacation and I was looking for either a ring or bracelet to wear with it. I saw this one by Justinstones and saw the reviews from those who got this particular bracelet were favorable, so I purchased it. I was alarmed when I got a delivery notification saying the order had been returned to Amazon by the shipper several days prior to when it should arrive. Then i got a notification from Amazon stating the return had been processed and my refund was pending. I was super confused because I didn't cancel the order or return it. I was worried I would not receive it and would have to order elsewhere. I ended up getting a pair of earrings off Etsy instead in the same stone, then today my Justinstones orange sea sediment bracelet arrived intact, in a very nice blue felt bag, and it fits perfectly! It is very pretty, just like in the pictures. I was worried because I have very small wrists, but the elastic is tight enough to fit w/o rolling around and loose enough to get over my hand w/o fear of it breaking. It appears to be a decent quality stretchy string and the beads are definitely 8 mm and uniform. I know many people are stating the beads are painted plastic, but I tried to "bite" test a bead and it was very hard. Didn't dent, didn't break. I am not about to take a hammer to one of the beads to test it out because it's very pretty and the quality is good enough that it would fool anyone other than a gemologist or jeweler. So, hopefully they are REAL jasper beads so that I can get the actual benefits of wearing jasper, but if not, they are pretty enough for me and I still have the REAL jasper necklace and earrings to get the benefits from at any rate.

5 stars for fit, appearance and nice little leatherette gift bag included. Just for full consideration: lepidolite beads might be oiled or enhanced with stabilizers since to be truthful, they are darker purple than any lepidolite beads I have ever seen. Why would this be? Possibly stabilized since a bracelet gets knocked about through normal wear. I have seen lepidolite beads sold elsewhere that are totally natural and not oiled and they look more dullish and porous, though sparkly. Overall I would say this is a pretty bracelet. I believe these are genuine beads. There are enough random veins of minerals that didn't take up the resin that tells me these are really genuine. The lepidolite is a stone used for its calming effect on people. That is the reason I bought this bracelet. I need calming for sure!

Beautiful bracelet to add a bit of color.

Product is as shown in pictures. Total 24 beads in the bracelet with a stretchable string. Would have given 5 stars if a certificate of authenticity was included for the beads used.

Love it ! Stretchy and durable - goes with almost any outfit

I love this bracelets. Bracelets are my fav piece of jewelry and Im very happy with this one. I have a bought a few from Justinstones and they are all beautiful. The colors are beautiful, the stones are real and soft and comfortable for wearing all day. I will order again and would recommend for a friend.

Nice shiny you can give them for a gift, bundle different colors, spiritual means or not they are just nice beads. Thanks

It is a purple beaded bracelet, but I’m not sure if it is actual lepidolite or not. They have a weird mottled look about them, and they almost look plastic, or like they may have a plastic colored coating on them that was sloppily applied. They certainly have a lot of occlusions in them, if they are real. I can tell you that they are not 8mm beads. I put them up next to another couple of bracelets I own that are 8mm bead stones, and they are approximately half the size of the 8mm beads, so I’d say around 4 or 5 mm, at most. I would say the bracelet is about 7” around, as advertized. It is an attractive bracelet, but does have a plastic look to it; therefore, I may not keep it. I haven’t decided what to do with it yet, but will give it a few days and then see how I feel. Honestly, I cannot decide whether it warrants 2 or 3 stars, because of the fact that it does look plasticey and many of the beads look like they are either close to cracking or have cracked inside. The color is nice, the width of the bracelet is good, but, as I mentioned, each individual bead is not the 8mm size advertised. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and gave it the 3 stars, but could not rate it higher than that.

Did not come with the brand bag

Highly recommended. Love the Bracelet :)

un gros merci..

Love this bracelet

Bought this product recently. Have worn it may be 10 times and the elastic band is of poor quality that it has snapped already.
