With the description saying stone, I was expecting stone and naturally, there would not be bubbles present in which mine have. The off-white I picked are similar to moonstone coloring but they are not stone. I do not like misleading descriptions and I would not have picked these if I had known they were going to be fake. It depends on how much I like the way they look though (when I pick fake earrings I have to love them) and I love real stones so I am very disappointed. Plus the wires are made of brass, which I would have easily changed out for stainless steel or sterling silver wires on my own time and budget (I happen to have those findings and swap them out for my skin's preference of use) but at this time I might give these to someone who will appreciate the color but they are not to my standards in quality. If you make glass beads, they should be bubble-free and should be clearly stated man-made.The other stones offered look to be real stones, but you get what you pay for so be wary of that. As for budget friendly that's on point. If you like them and brass doesn't bother your ears these will be nice options. They would make all right gifts for teens and ladies (and can be fixed up with new findings if you are handy with jewelry making or have a friend that is) an easy fix to turn the wires into your skin-approved metal.Do not leave these in moist environments, take off before swimming, bathing, working out, or applying perfume, body spray, cologne, hair spray, lotion, sunblock, insect repellent, and similar chemicals that can harm the stones and metal. Treat these as you would with your costume jewelry. Store in a dry place. Wipe down with a damp or dry cloth after each use.
