I put this on when it arrived three days ago, and I'm still wearing it.  There are a zillion options for this style of bracelet and this one is perfect.  Even though I was given this to write an honest review, it's still a favorite.  The braid doesn't fray, is supple and snag-free.  The clasp is reliable and the same diameter as the braid, so you can easily add more beads if you ever wanted to.  The beads are metal, heavy, nice detail and design.  They make a lovely noise gently bumping into each other.  This is a great bracelet for the price.
