Turns skin and Pandora bracelet black
939066
I bought these beads for my friend for Christmas. Today she came to me and told me she had to take them off her Pandora bracelet because it turned it black along with her skin. I was very embarrassed and disappointed as I spent $78 dollars on charms that discolor the skin and turn other jewelry black. I'm sure it is too late to return it but I wanted to let you know that this is happening and I will never buy anything like this again. It looks just like the picture when you get it then it becomes discolored and tarnished. DO NOT BUY THIS! I have NEVER left a bad review and I am VERY disappointed.

Its dark...its annealed...its wire!  Black stuff rubs off on your hands when you use it!!!  What more could you want?

I like that you get both black and brown bracelets. They are nicely made and look good. Especially when wearing a second bracelet next to them.

Terrible I only wear costume jewelry and every time I washed my hands, the silver would come off and copper shows through in  just a matter of days. It happened on through the rings that I bought from them. Very disappointed because most of my customary doesn't do this

This bracelet looks just like it does have n the picture. Warning: I have never had an allergy to ANY metal before but this caused raised, red bumps w/in a short period of time so if you are sensitive to metals, this probably isn't the bracelet for you!

This is a gorgeous bracelet, loaded with beautiful green stones. I am not sure what the central stone is named, but it is really beautiful. The green is accented by a crazy quilt of darker lines that shoot through it, making it very interesting to look at. The other stones chosen for this bracelet complement the central stone. This is a gorgeous coil bracelet rather than a cuff, and it is easy on the wrist. If you like green, buy this one today!

How to keep the silver in this piece clean:

Line the bottom of a ceramic bowl or pan with a sheet of aluminum foil.

Put enough water to cover your jewelry into a cup and mix it with several teaspoons of salt or several tablespoons of baking powder. Then dump it into the bowl with the aluminum foil.

Arrange your silver items so that they are in contact with the aluminum foil and covered by the salt water. If they have moving parts, arrange them so that all the moving parts are in contact with the aluminum, too.  They only need to touch in one spot.

In one half hour to one hour, they will be sparkling clean!

This recipe works on the principle of electrochemistry, which I learned in my college chemistry class. When silver tarnishes, the outer surface of the silver becomes oxidized. When you polish silver with a paste, you are using a mild abrasive to remove the tarnish. When you clean the silver my way, the oxidized silver is converted back to its original form, i.e. pure silver, and nothing is lost. In addition, most jewelry cleaners are hazardous substances that you would not let a child come in contact with, and are probably not safe to let your fingers come in contact with, either. This recipe is totally green, and dead easy. Save the planet! :-)

Turned my ears black! I'm not sure what kind of coating these have on them, but it is like black dye or something. would not buy again.

I am extremely disappointed in this bracelet. Yes, it was very low price. But I've ordered several jewelry items from Amazon recently that were dirt cheap that were very good quality. While the crystals in this bracelet are quite sparkly, the 'alexanderite' doesn't have the color changing properties I'd hoped for. They go from a kind of bluish purple to an intense purple but have none of the green or reddish tones I'd hoped for. Still, I could live with that as the natural stones vary. But the metal... Well, after wearing it for about four hours, I realized it was leaving a black mark on my skin and the back of the bracelet was already tarnished. As far as I'm concerned, this makes it unwearable.

It doesn't not look fine in a Pandora bracelet. It is preferable to add 15 dollars more and buy an original one.

I love sterling silver and have accumulated a lot of it over the years... I have several sterling  charm bracelets, tiffany bracelets, charms and  necklaces, souvenier spoons, etc...  Unfortunately, the downside of 925 silver is that it turns dark and even black over time and loses its beauty.  I had a bad habit of just putting it in the jewelry box and simply buying something new when this happened and before I knew it I had a jewelry box full of black and tarnished silver.  A friend happened to see my "blackened" silver collection and gave me a jar of this cleaner.  I didn't have high hopes considering the condition of the silver jewelry but decided to give it a try.  I put my once favorite necklace (a heavy, open link tiffany necklace) in the container and left it there while I took a shower and dried my hair.  When I was done, I took the chain out and couldn't believe what I saw!!  The chain that was BLACKENED was WHITE again!  I gave it a little scrub with an old toothbrush and it now looks like new again!  After that, I threw in my charms and other jewelry and it did the same thing.  I feel like I have all new jewelry!  This stuff is seriously amazing.... thank you so much!!!

I plan on putting a couple of "Pandora" or Pandora like beads on this to match my bracelet. Plan to change the beads to match outfits. Happy with length and look.

There are two serious defects: 1) the sleeves are approximately 1" shorter that the same product in tan color; 2). black color of the fabric rubs off easily leaving dark-purple-to-black discoloration on fingertips. A rubbing alcohol swab was needed to remove the discoloration from the fingertips.

This product seemed to work fine for the first two months until I recently washed it in warm water. The silver paint went away and all I keep seeing is layers and layers of black soot and very metallic in taste. My hands get black when I touch this. I regret buying this item just in two months and I can't even return it at this point ! I haven't done my research on what the black powder thing is but it won't go away no matter how many times I wash it ! Please be careful of this product !!!!

Please be aware that it will not look as purple lying against your skin. It is very pale and the back design doesn't show up as well.

This is a beautiful charm.  It fits well on my bracelet but I decided to use it on a necklace so as not to damage the crystals. I purchased several more of these as gifts. Heirloom Charms is a great seller.  All of the charms I have purchased from them have arrived promptly, well packaged and exactly as pictured on the Amazon.com website. UPDATE.  I did purchase several more of these charms and they turned black around the edges.  A silver polishing cloth did not remove the black color so I am thinking the charms are not .925 silver as advertised.  I am disappointed as the red crystals are pretty but the blackened color of the silver portion really detracts from overall look of the charm.
