Can’t believe Michael’s craft store is getting rid of Sterling Elegance company

[MichelleHW101]

.  I know the Sterling Elegance company was the most expensive company out of all the bead companies that Michaels sells and $5 for a pack of just two items (say like lobster claws) is a lot.  Yet there was a reason they were so expensive.  They don’t discolor like the rest that sell full packs (like 20 lobster claws for $3). They really are coated in the real thing (like the gold pieces are diped in 14karat gold while the sterling silver is dipped in real silver).  I wear a gold necklace (complete with jumper rings and lobster claw) made by the company constantly and only take it off to shower.  That means through exercise or heat sweat, I’m still wearing the necklace. Nothing discolored.  I’ve had to change out all the clasps from necklaces to something bigger and until I actually discovered Sterling Elegance I used whatever company was on sale and the clasps discolor so bad that it made all my really good pieces look like junk.  Why do they always have to do away with the good stuff?
