I ordered 2 other items from different vendors at the same time that I purchased this bracelet. I opened the other items first and was highly disappointed. I didn't have much faith when I opened this package (expecting to be disappointed again), but boy was I wrong! I'm happy to say that the bracelet is everything I hoped for! It doesn't look cheap or cheesy...the quality is great...very well made & beautiful. It also came nicely packaged & giftwrapped, which is a plus. :) It's a Christmas gift for my mom & I'm sure she's going to love it!!
