The chocolate really has grown on me, although I always liked it---but now that I've seen it in person, and have a couple of strands tucked away to play with---nice size 10-10.5mm dyed fw, paid about $40 each. The necklace and ring shown are very eye-catching, and sooooo lovely in the rose gold! I like the bronzy natural fw colors too!
