You pay for literally a few pearls in the tiniest package imaginable, nothing like the photo indicated. To fill in a brush holder like they show you in the pictures of many sellers (3-4 cms high layer of pearls) you would need 10 packets of this or more. Absolutely not worth money and I'm afraid other reviews are fake as I really can't fathom how people could be satisfied with this.
It arrived in six weeks, and the same as the picture. Those are nice antique gold / silver color and is not kitsch. Recommended.
