Good quality, slow shipping
The bead itself is fantastic quality and the weaving is tight. Shipping took a bit longer than anticipated, but the product makes up for it.

Perfect spacer bead
Exactly as described. The size is perfect for separating larger prayer beads. The monkey design is subtle yet charming.

Unique addition to my collection
Very unique item. The gourd material feels light but durable. I deducted one star only because the hole was slightly tighter than expected, but it worked after gentle reaming.
