Disappointed. Strong smell of plastic when I opened the box.
I was really looking forward to this bracelet.<br />Then, when I opened the lovely velvet box, I got a horrible strong smell of plastic.  It was the bracelet.<br />The package sat outside my door for about an hour after delivery, before i brought it in.  I live in Florida but it's not incredibly hot now and even if it was hot, a genuine stone bead would not smell of plastic.  So disappointed.<br />The 'black obsidian' beads are dull, no shine. Looking closely at them you can see a tiny pin point, ( see photo #2 the bottom bead on left side) so is that where the bead is formed out of some material? ( not obsidian).  Obsidian is volcanic glass and after reading some information on a jeweler's site it seems it's too brittle to be used for bracelets.<br /> The 'tigers eye' is pretty, but is it real? - I know 'tigers eye' is fairly cheap to buy, but I'm skeptical now.<br />The bracelet's sitting next to me - out of the box - while i write this review and I can still smell plastic 2 hrs after opening the box.<br />Now I don't know if any of it is genuine. Whats the point of wearing a bunch of plastic beads!!<br /> Hopefully the seller will read this and explain what the bracelet is really made of.
