These bracelets are really cute! The obsidian beads have a lot of shine and under shifting lights there is plenty of the silver sheen coloring showing off through the black. The beads are formed well, no flat spots on the round ones, and the cat head shape is chunky and sized a little bigger to be a focal point. Great price for the set of two--can keep one and gift the other to a friend for a matching look. The only issue with these bracelets is the size. They are on the smaller side, and will be best for teens and women. The braided bracelet does open up large enough to fit a male wrist, but it looks dainty and out of place somewhat on the larger arm. The stretch all-bead bracelet barely fit on my female wrist and I had to stretch it out a lot to get it over my hand--and I do not have big hands at all (I wear a size 5 ring!). So overall, nice set, decent price, but keep in mind these are small.
