The photo doesn't do this stone justice--it is lovely. Overall, the ring is daintier than I expected, but easy to wear and doesn't snag on clothes (a problem with some "star-shaped" jewelry!).
This bracelet is so pretty. I love malachite and these beads are the quality I have been looking for. They were a little smaller than expected, but if I look at the photo more carefully, they are actually portrayed well. I am very happy with this bracelet!
