Love the quality of these hearts they were thicker & sturdier than what u would get at michaels so in my opinion makes them better, also the stones are very beautiful, u can see & tell they are authentic. The only thing is that them being random, u have to know your stones to be able to identify what u got. Wish they would have an option of getting all the ones in the picture or what they have available, u can get triple of the same kind, either way tho I will be ordering again.
