Melody F says:Like you, I don’t usually like matte beads much, but your pick is so lovely, almost painterly, that I am tempted to order a strand of the quartz, and maybe the Czech Smoky Topaz too.

dolllady aka Pam says:Beautiful pick! I’m not a big fan of matte, but this one has some fantastic new ones. I’m thinking of using some of the matte rose quartz with the regular rose quartz.
