Wow ~ If you haven't purchased from this store...you don't know what you are missing!

This was an excellent assortment and each bead is very well crafted. I cannot imagine the low price on these things. Service was excellent.

I don't even want to use them for jewelry just sit and look at them! Nice buy and fast shipping and helpful, Ill def be doing business with them in the future!

I wanted to give this an okay review, but after looking through my bag again I'm going to lean more towards bad than good. The bag was smaller than I imagined but I am fairly new to jewelrymaking so that may be why. This bag seems to be the scraps and leftovers from other jewelerymakers and sellers that didn't make the cut. Some blemishes, broken beads, air bubbles in glass beads etc. There were some useable beads but usually no more than 2 of one kind. There were a few seed beads in the bottom of the bad with 1 spacer bead, 4 of these ridiculously ugly lampworked focals and a bunch of cheap plastic & glass beads. 1 ear wire and right on top (probably to make me feel like I got a deal) was about 12" of suede cord. I almost feel guilty giving this a low rating because the price was good, but seriously, the bag pretty much sucked. I got another bead mix bag like this from Fire Mountain Gems and that is SOOOO much better. I mean, this was just scraps and there really wasn't anything I could do with any of it. If you are a serious jewelrymaker and sell your items you won't get use out of this bag.

What a great buy for these beads and other assorted items in the bag! It's always interesting to see what you get, and the price is unbeatable. Fast service too! My daughter was thrilled with Beadoholique's 'Mr. Kitty's Bead Bonanza'!! Will buy again.

I bought two of these bags, and now I intend to buy more!! Great grabs bags chock full of all sorts of things. It was like going through a treasure chest! It is true there are a few that needed to be thrown out. But only a couple were not good, the rest were winners! I have made bracelets, earrings, and necklaces using the beads in this bag. A must have!

It seems the reviews are mixed here, so my idea is that you should KNOW what you want and then decide if this is it. If you want: A lot of matching beads High quality semi-precious gems and crystals No half-drilled or not-drilled beads No acrylic (plastic) beads The same beads and elements with each order . . . then DO NOT get this! However, if you don't mind: Variety in size, color and shape SOME (not all) not-quite-perfect beads Surprises with every bag A chance to learn . . . then get this product. I bought this and made a necklace, bracelet and earrings and was complimented on the set by a complete stranger, -so this package certainly has possibilities. Also, I have plenty left over to make more stuff. I also can't stress enough that one or two or three or . . . of these bags of beads can help the beginning beader (me) learn a lot about different types of beads, shapes, colors, and jewelry design -which is the MAIN reason I got this! One more thing -the story of the kitty makes it plain what you can expect and how could you resist buying a product with such a creative background story??!!

I am not a particularly picky jewelry maker, so I thought a mix would be a cool way to just have a little fun with it. I received many many seed beads and beads that are extremely cheap. Just disappointed.

The beads I received were not 4mm they were 2mm once i measured. And I was very disappointed. The picture is a complete misrepresentation and I feel like I just got ripped off. They are 2 mm and say they are 4 mm. Hopefully I can get my money back because these beads are not what I am looking for.

I hadn't realized just how small 4mm beads are until I saw these - they are tiny. I'm not sure that one strand gives you enough beads to make a necklace (even with combined with others). The colors are quite muted, but they are very cute.

beautiful but too small. be careful and know your sizes before you order. I paid too much money for these

Great bead mix and the best price I found on Amazon. Really like these colors!

Nice beads and plenty for the necklace I am making. I combined with other items and got free shipping which I didn't expect, as my order was over $25.00. Nice surprise!

what a pleasure recieving these beads. I made a wrap around braclet and sold it right away

I ordered these square stone beads in hopes that the colors of at least a few would be close enough to make pairs (for earrings). All of these stones are different colors; they are often close, but none were close enough to look like matched pairs. The colors that I receives were not as vibrant as the picture protrayed; there were many of the light purple translucent beads and a few brownish colors, and only a few green or darker colors. The sizes and shapes are irregular as well. Some edges are rounded off so to not even appear square. The pre-drilled holes are fairly large for beading purposes and were a little off-center in many of the beads. If you just want accent beads in many colors, and perfect shape and size is not an issue, these seem a good buy. If you want to make pairs for earrings or such, you could buy several strands and hope you get similar colors, or look in person elsewhere.

Gemstone Cube Bead Mix 4 x 4mm Beads /15.5 Inch Strand; Love assortments - I found it to be exactly as I expected. Not only was I happy with my entire purchase from Beadaholic; but I was able to receive the product very promptly

They are of good quality and look great. I wish I could get the same beads in a larger size. too little.

These are beautiful beads and just as pictured in the photo(though they are smaller than in the photo, of course).
