The shipping and packaging were great, and the freebies were also a nice touch. The items were disappointing, though: I only found 7 pieces that were ready to wear after a light cleaning as stated in the description. Most other items either were really dirty and the pearls heavily peeled after a light rub to remove the filth, had metal parts covered in verdigris or will need restringing and can barely be used for crafts. This is not advertised as "junk jewelry", so the price is way too high.
