At first glance, I was a bit disappointed, since I imagined, from the photos online, that the carnelian was a bit more brick red. But, the lighter orange color has really grown on me, and the golden disk is utterly stunning as a counterpoint to the carnelian beads. So, all in all, it's better to shop in person, but I know I'll get a lot of wear out of this very pretty piece. Thanks again, Saskia!
