We personally select only quality supplies for the JA Beaded Collection.  
This Black Bead 10mm & Genuine Turquoise Howlite is constructed with 1mm magic stretch cord which is the strongest available = protects against stretching too large and breakage. 
Tassle is approximately 1 1/2 inches in length constructed from silk tested and proven to retain its quality and shape wear after wear.

**Be aware that rolling stretch bracelets over the hand is the proper way to minimize stretching and breakage**
JA leverages an epoxy glue to cover all knots for added reinforcement.
