hey guys, this product is definitely not a 55 dollar value, and even 20 is pushing it. I should have listened to the chic who mentioned the plastic beads..they are so tacky. My issue is the instruction booklet. I was looking forward to opening it and finding all sorts of interesting projects. Unfortunately this was not the case. The booklet was 80% about the stuff you will need for jewelry making and what they were for. However, a lot of the stuff were not included in this purchase.The instructions are very half way as well. I would say about 10% of this booklet was made up of halfway instructions for projects and the other 10% were the halfway instructions in other languages.I was very disappointed in this product its not what its seems like from looking at the box.

The beads were plastic, which I didn't see written anywhere in the description, so they aren't very attractive. I'll have to go buy glass beads to make anything and they really aren't that expensive. It would be a good kit if they had included less glass beads rather than more plastic ones. The rest of the kit is good, and I like the tool but, honestly, those plastic beads are AWFUL !

It may have been a good product if it had came with all the items it was supposed to. When I called to have a new set mailed to me they refused, they would only accept it as a return and refund. They could not even tell me if they had any others in stock and would not even look for me.

Honest reviews on Darice 1985-42 Boxed Jewelry-Making Starter Kit

This kit is okay for getting familiar with lots of different findings. There wasn't much for tools, but the three in one is helpful. The beads are pretty cheesy. The bead-board is flimsy. I guess I like the whole kit just well enough to go ahead and keep it. Did I get what I paid for? No, I think this kit should have gone for about $12. I paid twice that.

My daughter received this kit as a 10th birthday gift. While the contents may not be as exciting or professional for an adult jewelry maker, we found it to be *excellent* for my daughter to start dappling with ideas. In just the first day, she was able to make 3 pairs of *beautiful* earrings (that even I would wear), and a nice bracelet for a friend. All of the kits we've found for children nowadays are fairly cheesy and cheap. This kit has given her a great confidence and starting point. And the quality of the finished product is very decent, even by adult standards.
