Beading Station 10pcs Stardust Silver Plated Twist Olive Earring Charms 55mm ~Jewelry Findings~

At first I was very excited to use these to make necklaces and earrings, After having these for a couple of months any of the handled or used ones turned gold colored. If you leave them in the package they stay silver. They are very thin and get discolored if handled. Not sure I will use again.

No problem with delivery or packing. Got two the first time and sold out right away. Just ordered again. I've made many different arrangements and still they want more. What I like is that there are so many beads that look good with this. The black and silver goes great together. The way these sell it looks like I'll be coming back before very long. The price will definitely have me coming back. The only problem I see is the material is not very strong and the holes are in a difficult area. Nothing I can't get around.

All in all, I liked them. They are different from what I can find in the craft stores and there is enough space to put pearls, beads, chain, or twisted strands of colored wire in them. The one thing I am leery about is the small hole that is used to attach the jump ring. It is sometimes not centered, and this leaves the space between the hole and the edge of the charm dangerously thin which could result in the hole being "torn" open and the loss of the inner dangles.I would buy them again though, because they allow for so many possibilities to creating unique earrings.

The twists are very shiny which is never mentioned in the description. The metal needs to be lightweight, but they appear to be very thin. I never opened as I'd never use them for making earrings. Not as sophisticated as the picture projects.

The earring findings looked so fun on-line. When I received them, I found that there are no holes to attached an earwire - perhaps that was done to stimulate creativity! The shape of finding is very flattering.

Bought these as a gift for a friend who does jewelry making and I was pleasantly surprised by the weight and quality. The weight is nice because it didn’t feel cheap. My friend seems to like them and they’re working well for her.

I was able to make a beautiful necklace and a matching pair of earrings with 3 of these Stardust Twists and the addition of a dainty Sterling Silver chain and beads/crystals. I used the others similarly. The jewelry turned out beautifully.

These are beautiful. The only issue is that one of the pieces was damaged. The hole at top was not complete but I made it work with my tools.
