of the new "african" inspired pieces I think it's the nicest and the only one I considered getting - it's a question of £ for me because the beads are not very heavy; if you're expecting stone-like beads for that price then you'll be disappointed, but if you usually spend that or more on costume jewellery than you'll love it, it's def a statement piece, to be worn with gold studs and not much else. Colour is really nice (but then blue is my fave), I was just disappointed with the weight of it, if I'm totally honest.
