Hi! I have to say i am not pleased with my purchase. I read the reviews. I almost never wear NON solid 14kt gold. I know exactly what 14kt gold filled is. With all thats said... i placed an order . Why? Because you can spend almost that much on costume jewelry from Belk , or Dillards or any high end store. My thought process was that this had to be a little better. I dont know what all these other people got but my items didn't hold up one day. I put the bracelets on for the first time. Went out to dinner. They did not get wet, they did not have lotion or anything like that and i came home with two beads halfway tarnished or whatever you want to call it. The costume jewelry I have purchased from high end jewelry stores held up better. To say the least i was disappointed. Im glad all you other ladies have such fantastic reviews. I do not. Pattie
