How did I live without these?
The Good:  Hem Gems are a stroke of pure genius.  Subtle, easy to use, they do what they are supposed to do and do it really well.  I love the fact that my hems are now always the perfect length, and that my jeans last longer because the bottoms aren't frayed.<br /><br />The Bad:  They are not widely available in stores.  Good to see them available on Amazon now!  Also, I only use two hem gems per leg instead of the company-recommended four, so I wish they came in packs of four instead of eight.<br /><br />The Verdict:  AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING!  Trust me on this one! Life changing.<br /><br />I started out with the classic gold rivets, but quickly bought the silver and then the black rivets.  They are also a great gift idea for almost any woman -- I have probably purchased about 8 sets of these in total because when people see me wear them, they want some ASAP and I keep giving them away.
