AD Beads Natural Gemstone 8mm Round Loose Beads Big Hole 2.5mm Sized 40pcs (White Pearl)

The ad photos are nice and brightly colored. However, on two of the bead types (African Turquoise and Indian Agate) what I received did NOT match. I got mostly dark almost mono- colored beads in both of these type stones. The ad photos should reflect true look of stones. Most of the time the beads I receive with this vendor are true to ad photo...but not these.

Advertised as 2mm+. Actual hole size was less than 1mm.It’s a shame. These were actually beautiful. And my two other bead orders at the same time, from this seller, were large hole. It’s disappointing that these were either sent as a mistake by the seller or advertised wrong.I’m unable to return them because I always take my beads out of the original packaging, especially if it’s poor quality, and put into my bead organizer. As soon as I realized they were wrong I contacted the seller, but the original packaging was gone. Beware—seller requires item in original packaging for return.

Beautiful beads, very nice quality, perfect size for my needs which has been exceedingly tough to find. Only issue I have is the value for money, 40 beads for $8 is higher than I would like, coming to $.20/apiece, but obviously I knew this when I purchased them and I bought several sets anyway because they were the best option I could find for what I needed. Not sure I'll be able to afford to continue buying these too often, just too costly overall for my projects. But if you're making gifts for loved ones or beading for yourself (as opposed to beading jewelry for profit) these are exceptional. Would love a larger wholesale option that brings the cost per bead down. Still, some of the best I've found yet, it's hard to find good small beads with this hole size! Thanks to AD Beads.

Love these beads. Beads with 3 mm holes are becoming very popular. I feel that they’re really hard to find so I feel lucky that I found these and they are perfect and they are very beautiful as you can see in the picture. Thank you 10 *

I really dislike writing unfavorable reviews so I’ll keep it short. I’m not so naive as to think that I’m buying genuine turquoise for this price but the quality of these beads are substandard. I bought several different ones bc I needed big holed beads and they looked great in the pic and were well reviewed, but they were disappointing to say the least. I won’t use them nor purchase from this company again.
