Magic bean jewelry is a unique and enchanting form of adornment that has gained popularity in recent years. The concept behind magic bean jewelry is rooted in the idea that each bean contains a hidden message or wish that can be unlocked when worn as jewelry. The magic beans used in this type of jewelry are typically made from seeds that have been carefully selected for their symbolic meanings. Examples of such seeds include coffee beans, rose seeds, or even special beans known for their mystical properties. These seeds are then spellbound and prepared to be transformed into wearable pieces of art. Magic bean jewelry is more than just an ordinary accessory; it is a talisman that holds a special significance for the wearer.
Although Scosche's Magic Mount Pro Charge still requires a few unruly magnetic accessories to use, it's come close to convincing me that I need to make a few concessions so that I can get the advantages of hands-free iPhone use in my car. The Magic Mount also doubles as a Qi-enabled charging platform, so it will work with any compatible smartphone or case.
The Magic Mount comes with two options for installation a suction cup with an extended reach for the upper dash board or lower windshield and a shorter arm with a sticky pad for the infotainment center area. As a note, Scosche also provided me with a separate fast car charger, which features both a USB-C and USB-A port to charge two devices simultaneously.
Magic bean jewelry is more than just an ordinary accessory; it is a talisman that holds a special significance for the wearer. Each bean is believed to possess a unique energy or power, which varies depending on the type of seed used. For example, coffee beans are often associated with awakening and energy, while rose seeds may symbolize love and beauty.

I've never been a fan of magnetized iPhone mounts in cars because they require special iPhone cases that stick to the base of the mount to keep the smartphone in place. Since I enjoy using Apple's own leather and silicone cases, I haven't had the urge to ditch a case for one that would be compatible with a car mount.
Although Scosche's Magic Mount Pro Charge still requires a few unruly magnetic accessories to use, it's come close to convincing me that I need to make a few concessions so that I can get the advantages of hands-free iPhone use in my car. The Magic Mount also doubles as a Qi-enabled charging platform, so it will work with any compatible smartphone or case.
The Magic Mount comes with two options for installation: a suction cup with an extended reach (for the upper dash board or lower windshield) and a shorter arm with a sticky pad (for the infotainment center area). The initial unboxing and setup for the Magic Mount is a bit overwhelming, with nearly a dozen different parts and accessories making up the process: a metal case mount, metal smartphone mount, wire clip cable organizers, suction mount, sticky mount, charging pad, 12V car power adapter, micro-USB to USB charging cable, and even cleaning wipe to prepare the intended area for the mount.
The charging pad itself attaches easily to the two mount attachments with a ball and screw "tension collar" system. You then can attach the micro-USB cable into the charging pad, and feed the cord into the car adapter to enable wireless charging when you place your phone on the pad. As a note, Scosche also provided me with a separate fast car charger, which features both a USB-C and USB-A port to charge two devices simultaneously. I found both this car charger and the charger included with the Magic Mount (which has just a single USB-A connection) to be reliable throughout my testing period.

For the metal mounts, you have to choose between placing them directly on your smartphone or on a case. For obvious reasons I didn't want to attach a large black metal pad to the back of my iPhone X (Scosche does promise this is completely safe), so I opted for the case option. This includes placing two smaller metal rectangles on the back of a case of your choosing, which will help magnetize the iPhone to the charging pad and enable Qi charging through compatible cases (which are pretty much any thin iPhone cases, including all of Apple's first party leather and silicone options).
The installation process for the metal strips was easy enough, since Scosche provides a helpful paper guide with arrows that point you where to place the strips depending on the size of your iPhone or Android phone. Once you have the alignment right, you remove a film on the back of the measurement tool, press hard to attach the metal pieces, and when it's removed your case will have two new pads permanently attached to the back. The process appears largely the same for attaching directly to an iPhone.

When wearing magic bean jewelry, the intention is to tap into the hidden energies and messages held within the beans. It is believed that by wearing these beans, the wearer can align themselves with the specific energy associated with the seed, thereby attracting the desired outcome or wish. In addition to their symbolic significance, magic bean jewelry also showcases intricate craftsmanship. Each seed is delicately encapsulated in a protective casing, often made from high-quality metals or clear resin. The casing is designed to both preserve the bean and enhance its aesthetic appeal. One of the most fascinating aspects of magic bean jewelry is the personalization it offers. Each bean can be adorned with additional charms, gemstones, or other embellishments according to the wearer's preferences and desires. This allows individuals to create unique and customized pieces of jewelry that reflect their personal journey and aspirations. Magic bean jewelry has become more than just a fashion trend. It holds a deeper meaning and serves as a reminder for individuals to embrace their desires, dreams, and intentions. Whether worn as a necklace, bracelet, or even a ring, magic bean jewelry serves as a powerful talisman that invites positive energies and helps manifest one's desires into reality..
Reviews for "Beyond Jewelry: Innovative Uses for Magic Beans in Decor and Art"
1. Jane - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with my purchase from Magic Bean Jewelry. The necklace I received was nothing like what was advertised on their website. The stones were dull and lacked the sparkle that was shown in the pictures. Additionally, the chain was flimsy and cheaply made. I reached out to their customer service to voice my concerns, but they were unhelpful and dismissive. I would not recommend buying from Magic Bean Jewelry if you're looking for high-quality, beautiful pieces.
2. Robert - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Magic Bean Jewelry, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The earrings I ordered arrived late and were not properly packaged. One of the earrings was even missing a stone! I contacted customer service, and while they did offer a replacement, it took several weeks to receive it. The quality of the earrings was average at best, and I felt like I could have purchased similar items for a lower price elsewhere. Overall, my experience with Magic Bean Jewelry was underwhelming, and I won't be purchasing from them again.

Magic Bean Jewelry was a complete letdown for me. The bracelet I ordered looked nothing like the picture online. The colors were completely off, and the beads were poorly strung together. It felt cheap and flimsy, and I was worried it would break easily. When I tried to return it, their return policy was so strict that I couldn't get a refund. I'm highly dissatisfied with the quality of their products and their lack of customer service. Save your money and shop elsewhere for jewelry that will actually meet your expectations.
