Description
The picture is an example. Yours will be similar. Bead shapes vary and, no two strands are identical!
This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the raffia holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
