Hicarer50 Pieces Mixed Stone Beads Crystal Stone Pendants Quartz Charms with Storage Bag for Jewelry Making

I got a leather necklace, gave these away at Renfair and people loved them.

This was an easy craft for not so nimble hands. The Alzheimer’s and dementia residents created these beautiful necklaces all on their own and picked out the stones. The colors are bright, clasps are a bit wonky and some needed extra glue to stay in. The sparkle tan ones weren’t my favorite because they had cracks. They were tagged that they were made with love, with the residents first name. It was the hit of the craft charity sale.

Okay..are these the best pendants in the world? no. But are they cheap and pretty good? yes. I would recommend tugging at each pendant when you open the package to ensure that the hardware is secure to the stone. There were a few loose ones and hardware that fell out of the drilled hole. It's nothing a bit of superglue didn't fix, and if you have that at home it's a quick two second step to ensure each hardware piece is secured to the stone. Out of all 50 pieces, only one had a rough, chipped edge that I decided to toss in the garbage. So I was happy to be able to have 49 usable pendants. However, if you need exactly 50 you might be taking a gamble based on my experience of one being chipped and some of the other reviews that claim worse. There are repeats of stones, so note that as well if it matters in your case.

There is frankly so much potential here for accessorizing. I don't know how this is not more common given the relative prices of similar-style jewelry. You might seriously end up spending the same for one rock from this batch, and a string necklace. So far, these are sturdy and appear strong as well. No noticeable defects at all except for minor cosmetic bumps on the rocks. So many colors, shapes.. this is SUCH a good value! Gifts, accessories for you and friends.. there is so much good here. Great price too. Glad I snatched mine up before this catches on! Muahaha.. See photos :)

The stones are a nice quality and very pretty, with that said I was not expecting any man made crystals since it stated natural crystals in the description. Seven of the pieces I received were smelting quartz which isn't the end of the world, but that seems like a bit much and is important to note. Pieces are much smaller than I was expecting but the quality of the natural stones make up for the size, I have included a photo for size comparison. Two of my pieces came broken.

We ordered these stone charms and added them to faux leather necklaces for a “in memory of “ guest gift at my mother’s celebration of life party that i hosted following her funeral. Everyone loved the favor and several have continued to comment on how beautifully touching the guest gifts were. It definitely appeared as if we spent far more than what we did! We assembled the necklaces w/ a charm & encased them in a jewelry mini drawstring bag. We gifted them inside a kraft pouch w/ bit of honey candies all wrapped with a rafia tie and kraft printed tag which read with thanks... finally we had prayer cards made w/ her photo abd each guest received one at their plate. I had approximately 125 guests at my mother’s celebration of life luncheon at a high end restaurant that she afored eating at, my gifts costed approximately $1.50 pp including wrapping and customized prayer photo card. Yet; it looked as if we had spent a minimum of $10 pp. all in all what a great way to share your loved one with others!! A healing stone made everyone “feel & Remember “ not only the loss and life of my mother but also their loved ones.

Enjoying making these into earrings with matching necklaces. Having the connecting loop already drilled is a great convenience.

I was so happy when I purchased these. But when I received them today several had the metal pieces out of the stone. And several of the others the ring is glued to the metal stem loop. These are so cheaply made. Honestly very disappointed. Now I have to go buy the glue to set them properly. Now these cost way more than they are worth. I will not be purchasing from this seller anymore. I hate having to do returns because it's so much of a hassle and I'm the only one losing time and money. Please do research before purchasing from this seller or any other one. I decided to purchasing these before reading the reviews.
