Joee recommended Permacoat which brought me to here and rest of site was easy to follow and you have great prices for a beginning jewelry maker.

Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!

I had a fun & easy shopping experience. I found everything that I want for now!

It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
