Default Actually...

for the ones who wondered about the durability issue, I got the chance to "crash-test" my BS bead bracelet last week. It was an accident (don't ask..) and as a result, my whole bracelet flung off my wrist and WHACK!!!!! right on the concrete floor. REAL HARD. I could not have it thrown it harder if I did it on purpose and with all my might. Well, happy to say most beads survived the impact, except the ONE that was already showing cracks before the accident (and that I was planning to replace anyways). Needless to say, after that, I had no choice but replace it... All of the other beads are fine, only few of the swarowski rondels and crystals I used as spacers did survive the shock though, so I restrung the whole thang and it is back on my wrist. I'm amazed at how solid those beads are.
