Sent for one of the new peach Shamballa bracelets; my niece had seen mine which cost me £55 so this seemed a cheap option.
The difference is unbelievable. For starters, you only get 5 beads. The beads are not the same size (one is a good third bigger than the others) the resin has gaps in places where no crystals have been applied, the cord is stringy and does not slide easily, the knotting has no glue finishing to prevent fraying and the bracelet just about fits my 6" wrist.
I should've known it would be tat by dint of the fact it came in one of those Chinese zip purses which anyone selling tat offers their goods in to give the buyer a sense of having got something at least someway towards being worth the money they've paid.
Is it worth £12.95 even with said purse? No. I'd say it's a fiver bracelet and even then you'd still need to throw in the purse. Ho hum. I'll put it down to experience and in the Secret Santa as a novelty cheapo gift.
