Justinstones 8mm Round Beads Stretch Bracelet 7 Inch Unisex

I ordered 2 bracelets - khaki mother of pearl and unakite. They are as heavy as stone, so I first thought they were natural and kept them. After wearing the unakite once, the paint started to chip off and I could see, the beads were made of glass. Then I compared the mother of pearl to my mother of pearl earrings and another mother of pearl bracelet I have - it definitely isn't genuine, I suspect it's painted glass, as well. (I haven't worn it yet, but I presume the pain will start chipping off just like the first bracelet).Now, I do realize they were awfully cheap but I have bought natural stone bracelets for a similar price before and they were - exactly as the description says - genuine stone. This product description should be changed as it is absolutely deceiving!

Fake.. Not real stone. I bought the Bloodstone ones from both Justinstones and Amandastones.. Low and behold, the translucent colored beads are peeling. The bloodstone beads with red specks on them, mimicking heliotrope - are actually red beads with a different coating on them.Fake fake fake, avoid avoid avoid. False advertising.

I bought this bracelet because was attracted to the stone colors and patterns. I can wear it to parties or grocery shopping, actually to any occasion except a painting party. A great bracelet for everyday wear. I purchased this without incentives from the seller. I've had it only for a week or two and so far, it's holding out well.

Update: I love my older bracelets (I ordered several as gifts). The faceted look is gorgeous, I know the stone is real (clear quartz), and I get a LOT of compliments on my bracelets. I recently gave one of my friends (yes, my bracelets become my friends) away to my sister who fell in love with it, so feeling lost without my friend, I ordered another. This new one has a tighter/smaller stretch cord, and the faceted look is minimal unfortunately. This caused it to lose a lot of its luster. I am keeping it because all stones are beautiful, but I definitely want the faceted look to be as sharp as my original bracelets. The last picture shows the difference in the facet cut (newer bracelet on the bottom).I love this bracelet. It's not too large, and it wears beautifully. I have yet to validate how genuine the stones are, but I can definitely tell it's not plastic. I love the faceted look. The only thing I would change is the color and strength of the stretch cord used to string the stones. I may be ordering more for my girls..If only I knew how to upload my pictures of it on my phone, lol.

I keep coming back to this seller because the stones are real and good quality/color. Amazonite is one of those that comes in a variety of colors, from white to dark veins, and can vary greatly if you don't know what you're buying. This listing shows "classic" beautiful aqua-blue-green amazonite and that's what I got! I don't feel the need to include a photo, because it matches the listing photo exactly. It's worth the price to get real stones that show good color. This seller in general, you know what you're getting, right down to being informed which stones are dyed or synthetic, and I respect that. I only buy from different mineral sellers on Amazon if justinstones doesn't have it!

These are great little bracelets. The stones are rich and vibrant. This jasper is just what I was looking for; an earthy, brown color with beautiful striations. This bracelet feels weighty, but still light enough to stack with other bracelets. They are simple and uncomplicated, you can just throw them on and go out the door. My jewelry style is evolving into a more natural, uncomplicated look, with jeans and cowboy boots and these bracelets have a bohemian, simple vibe going on. I do have very small wrists, so these bracelets are perfect for me. Will definitely be collecting all the different gemstones. Great purchase!

I saw that there was a bloodstone option, and got it. I used to have a bloodstone bracelet just like it, but it broke some years back.Now, here's the thing. It got lost in the mail, and I actually got my money back for it. Great service!I now actually have one in my possession, and I love it, though after a year or so of wearing it almost constantly the string has begun to fray. Honestly, for a stretch band, I'm surprised it lasted nearly as long as it has, given how often I wear it. I would recommend.

I was very hesitant as to the quality of this bracelet but rest assured, it's quality is pretty good for the cost. I'm very surprised & pleased with this purchase.UPDATE: The Pyrite paint started chipping off!!
