UPDATE: well, I’m a little disappointed now. Despite clicking “reorder” on my purchase of red stones (I know this review is for purple velvet, but Amazon won’t let me write a separate one for red), the batch I got today is WILDLY different in shade from the batch I got last week, and now my project is splotchy. Very disappointed. I still love the sparkle of Jollin stones, but will definitely no longer buy two batches for the same project due to the apparent inconsistency between batches.—Original review: I’ve used Jollin for a long time, and I love the quality. Very, very sparkly!The purple velvet color is a blend of pinky, purply, and blue-ish stones, which was exactly what I wanted for this project, to give it dimension.Will buy more Jollin in the future, definitely. ��
