Amazon recently ran this bracelet on a special price of $31.99 during the holidays. I had been looking at it for some time because I have a lot of gemstone earrings and rings. While it is a pretty bracelet, there are some things that I wish were better. For instance, all of the stones are rather small, noticeably smaller than the beetle type clasp, which sticks out prominently as a result. There are a total of 20 stones in the bracelet, four of each color. Regarding the color of the stones, the amethysts are dark, almost a purple black, not at all like the picture; the citrine is a washed out yellow; and the topaz is pale blue, just as pictured. The garnets and peridots are the truest in color, the garnets being a medium to dark red with no brown tones and the peridot being a light to medium traditional green for that gem. The clasp does work somewhat hard, but not impossibly so; it's the outside two finishing clips that are the problem rather than the slide in piece. I'm going to keep the bracelet, but if I had paid the current price of $50, I would have returned it as being too expensive for what it is. January 12 update: after taking the bracelet on and off several times, the clips have become less stiff, making them easier to fasten and remove.Get more detail about Yellow Gold Overlay Sterling Silver Multi-Gemstone Bracelet, 7".
