I've purchased lots of this type of findings from local stores but, most stores carry the same items that are made very cheaply. They fall apart in your hand while you are making something with them. These are sterling silver which is strong enough for every day wear. The beading wire goes right through both of the holes and doesn't tarnish. I highly recommend buying from Too Cute Beads because the quality is in everything I've bought thus far! Wish I lived closer to shop there!
