Pros: Price, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality, Color
"These crystals are amazing little things! The colour is unique, and woks well with so many other colours. I find that it pairs well with a medium soft periwinkle...the sand opal takes on an almost bluish-grey tone. That's the beauty of the sand opal shade: it takes on a different colour cast when paired with other hues."

not an attractive color
Date:July 16, 2010
Cons: Color
"Though I've been delighted with all the other Swarovski bicones I've bought from Artbeads, I am unhappy with the color of these beads. I find it muddy. I bought these to use with topaz bicones in a bracelet but will need to choose another color."
