The letters are stamped very clean - no variation in the depth

Looks nice for the price!

I love these beads -- they are such a great value and they look really good. This size is great for names or words that are too big to spell out with 5.5mm letter beads, and they look really good with 6mm Swarovski crystal bicones in between the beads to space them out. I have had a few problems in the past with some of the letters being damaged, but Brightlings is great -- they sent me replacements and a prepaid mailer to send back the damaged letter beads -- and it was fairly quickly too -- so I don't worry about getting bad beads anymore b/c if I do, they are quick to resolve the problem. Still worth it -- they are so nice, and so affordable!!!!

Silver plated pewter is a great bead for the money but if I use them, I have found that I need to educate my customers on how "costume" jewlery can fade, tarnish and oxidize in the air and with body chemistry. A lot of my customer in the past were getting upset becuase the silver luster was fading. Turns out, that's just the way it is. Once they understood the chemistry behind this, they were better, but if I sell a bracelet using these beads, I make sure they uynderstand that the fading process is normal and expected.

Great beads!

use to personalize a gift for someone speacil

One of the N's had a noticable bubble on 2 sides of the letter
