Love your products but the website doesn't work sufficiently. I was on with my partner and when we would search 18mm Rivolis different things came up. One of us had 3 pages and the other had 7 pages. We had to open another browser and start from potomac beads.com Also, when you click a down arrow for more products it won't allow you to go anywhere. It just removes the down arrow menu.
