Bead Strand in Dusk Sunset

Overall this is a pretty strand. There is a problem with it though. I bought it for the gorgeous gunmetal and purple cage beads, but the beads are too small to stay caged. It's a huge disappointment. My plan was to simply hang the caged beads on an earwire, maybe with some chain, but that is impossible with the bead not being able to stay in the cage. I can't even use a head/eye pin to keep it in place. What a waste.
