I like the pretty beads and it will be nice at Christmas. However I didn't realize it came just like a necklace and that you literally wind the beads thru each other to attach.
I got a beautiful blue wrap one from Nareerat a few months ago and it was all connected. Nice though.
I bought this for a young friend and she loves it! The beads are well polished and the brass rose is weighty and well made.
All in all, it looks more expensive than what I really paid for it and I made a young girl very happy.
