Comments:

This is a pretty mix.  The colors in my picture may actually be a little too muted, meaning that the actual beads are probably a bit more golden and colorful.  I often mute the colors when fixing up pictures because I don't want the customer to be disappointed if the beads are not as colorful as the picture.  In this case, however, I may have muted the colors too much.
