These are a bargain. 50 pieces + big bucks when you add a cute charm or slide. These have lobster claws which is a great thing, because they are much easier to fasten and look a lot more fashionable than a normal C closure. A few of the rings connection the chain on the other end are poorly closed, but can be fixed easily if you are making jewelry anyway. They look really nice because they are waxed and I feel that makes them last longer when wearing them in the summer if they are worn against the skin instead of clothing.
