I really like this mix of charms! There is a large variety of animals, sea life/nautical, keys, leaves, birds, hearts etc. There were also duplicates of many of them, which was okay for what I am using them for (5 palm trees, 5 large birds, 3 suns etc.). My favorite ones were the dinosaur charm and the sea horses. Great product! Nice hard metal and a little antique-y (after sorting them, I had some black powder on my fingers... I assume this is from the distressing/antiquing the charms)
I ordered these to make wine glass charm rings for some friends and to have a few for my teenager for jewelry making. They are just sooo cute. The size is appropriate for my project and there is variety within a few themes which will be great for making the gift look like a thought out set rather than a random craft with left over pieces. For example, there are 5 or 6 teapots and a teabag. There are about 6 ocean themed creatures. And there are musical notes and instruments. There are more within my mixed bag - but you get the idea, so I am thrilled.
My daughter needed pairs to make earrings because, like shoes, you really can't have too many! She had many pairs to choose from. She really liked the Eiffel tower pair, the cowboy boots, high heels and matching birds. I think there were about a 12 or so pairs to chose from and that was plenty. I wasn't expecting to have pairs due to another review, but that is the way my collection came and really we are so happy that I am ordering another package just to have them on hand for rainy day crafts, sleepovers or to just to let her sort thru and make more earring for her friends.
Pro: variety, size, themes, pairs, price and speed of delivery
Cons: there are a couple with finish issues - but I had to really think about it to come up with a con
I received my shipment today & the packaging was in perfect shape. I opened the packed and did not recieve the same ones other people had posted but I was still okay with it. Some of them are too small for what I need but the others that are big make up for it. They don't have a strong smell. Some of them have cute little writing on them like best friend or live your dream. I need recieve excess things like feet or spoons but I really enjoyed the palm tree and feathers. I don't regret this purchase! If you want a specific one, don't totally expect it.
I was very happy with this mix. I didnt get anything that was pictured, but I wasn't expecting to. What I did get were a very nice weight and quality, and actually a mix of my interests. A few were a bit on the cutesy-feminine side for me - A ballerina, bows etc. but my mom loved those, so it worked out great. The most duplicates I got were six owls and six butterflies, but both were really nice and I could see making a necklace or something with them. Whatever the case, this seems like the best mix available on amazon at the best price.
I ordered these knowing from earlier reviews that it was a gamble and I'd probably get a lot of duplicates. Duplicates are fine for my purposes, and the price was worth the gamble, I thought. Turns out that I actually did get a bunch of the charms that are pictured here on Amazon, so the Amazon photo was quite representative of what I received. In my photo, you can see what I got -- usually at least three of each design. 22 different designs, if I counted correctly, and a few that I really really like and might have to use for myself. :) I'm happy with this purchase.

These charms are beautifully done. I received about half and half (singles and pairs) so I'll have plenty to use for layered necklaces/bracelets, gift/swap or to create earrings. The photos are about 10 times enlarged to show the level of detail. I received 101 and only one was broken (but repairable). I'm delighted with the purchase and the speed of delivery. I'd definitely order from HYBEADS again.
I feel pretty happy with this collection. Diverse in size & variety. I counted 111 charms & 40 different varieties. I've read some complaints on here yet I chose to order anyway & I'm glad I did. These will be very useful.
I thought I was ordering larger charms, but when I got there, they were smaller and I love them.. There were mostly 2 of a kind, which worked well for earrings.. Such a variety... I will re order these in the future... Perfect size and they had a feel of being solid and not "tin like, hollow" ... Was well worth it.. It took a while to get to me...Am very happy with them
I just love opening them and laying them all out. It's fun. There is a mix of various qualities and characteristics. Some of the differences are flat backs, back same as front, plain on the back, hole for threading side to side, hole for threading front to back, weight and overall quality. Approximately 50% were of really good quality. The other 50% I will use girls jewelry and for other projects. I will order these again and again.
These are decent quality and you get 100 of them. They are perfect for bracelets and earrings, most of them are too small for a necklace. I received a very decent mix of Christmas, sea life, and animal charms. I did get a few "hand made" and "made for you" charms, but I still feel like this is worth it. You pay $5 at the craft store for 10 charms, this is definitely something to take a chance on. Will buy again.
