LABABITY (10mm, Dark Blue) - 10mm Dark Blue Cat Eye Beads Round Gemstone Loose Beads for Jewellery Making (38-40pcs/strand)

The beads themselves are fine but I felt I could only give this purchase 2 stars because being able to rely on the images for accuracy is most of the usefulness of the product. I had to buy both blues to make sure I got the color I needed and then wasn't able to return the other one in time so, for me, this product was twice as expensive and therefore less desirable.I've attached pictures of the Dark Blue and Royal Blue beads against a white countertop and my hand under white overhead lighting in my home, as well as what I made with the Royal Blue beads. (It was for a costume, so pardon how shoddy the pendant looks.) The Dark Blue beads are nearly black; they seem to brighten them for their display photo so the color will show up brighter, but it does not look like this in reality—unless you were to shine very bright lights on it or through it, which presumably will not be how it is viewed most of the time.The Royal Blue beads are closer to how the Dark Blue beads look in their photos.

Love the color blue, but the beads have to be bigger like a 14mm

I haven't made the necklace these will go in yet but they are even better in person.

The color is a beautiful deep blue!
