WarmShineWarmShine 48 Pieces Norse Viking Rune Beads Hair Beard Pendant Antique DIY Bracelet Jewelry Pendants, Silve 418478774

These as a great deal and I purchased about seven sets for my jewelry making...the issue is the first bag was perfect, ordered more and they came today. I opened the Amazon box and noticed oil soaked into the bottom of the box. I pulled out one bag and it was coated in some type of oil and stickiness from the bag seal that had dissolved. I opened the grey bag to find a baggie FULL OF OIL AND BEADS. LITERALLY A BAG FULL OF SOME DISGUSTING OIL STRAIGHT FROM CHINA. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS OIL THAT IS ALL OVER MY COUNTER AND ALL MY OTHER BEADS, MY HANDS, SHIRT, ETC???Then upon further inspection, WITHOUT touching the bags AND using tongs, I can see inside the bags, the beads are tarnished and some are black.Petty disapointed and honestly wondering what the hell is this??? My counter where I opened it is a mess from oil and I don't know how to return this mess and five sets of these.

Thought I was going to get middle of the road or cheaper quality on these, based on the price, but I didn't care, as I was just doing some mock ups, and testing out some ideas and other products I had, in combination to these. I was more than surprised when these arrived! They look like real sterling silver, are shiny, and the engravings on them are clear, and well done. They actually look like what you imagine real druid ruins might look like. These are so nice, I am going to use them in actual jewelry/products I sell. Have already ordered two more sets. A great deal.

Using my normal guide for Celtic Runes in the recourse book 'The Languages of Tolkien's Middle Earth', I couldn't find many of the runes there (in ether rune list). Thus, my idea to spell out my nieces names as part of a x-Mass gift. the most I got was half of each of the three names.The picture displayed in the product listing "says" (by the repition of the same picture 7 times) that you are getting 7 sets of runes. There were only three sets of what runes. Thus the picture misrepresents what is being gotten.

So i love these. I use them for earrings. There is 3 packs and each pack has 1 of each rune. However, in one pack I recieved Raidho (R) twice and did not get Laguz (L) so be careful ordering because you may be missing a rune. I took the two misplaced runes as a message and it was all good but if you're going to order this, keep in mind that they don't actually check to make sure you got every rune.

Overall, great beads, but the sellers aren’t paying enough attention. Multiples of some runes, and others are missing. So while the heads are nice, if you actually care about accuracy, you might be disappointed.
