| Actually they are very pretty and I never fail to get a complement on them, however, no one believes them to be real diamonds. Attached is a pic and the vendor's detail regarding the beads. This is from MiGem.com. Michelle is a very wonderful and reputable vendor.
"These are graded AB by the vendor. Herkimer double-pointed Crystals that look like rough diamond stones thus the name. Originally mined in Herkimer, NY, these are of brazilian origin. Beads measuring 5x7 to 6x12 mm with 3.5 mm round clear crystal spacers, 16" strands. These are important crystals used in gem therapy and helps to release energy blockage and enhance dream recall. These are very popular stones at the moment and we have already sold out several batches. Our supplier has mentioned that the factory is not making more of these beads at the moment due to rough shortage so get them while you can!
$48 for 1 strand"
