I really like this as an alternative to a snake chain charm/bead bracelet.  Never a problem putting it on as the bracelet is flexible and just goes on with a twist.  The smart beads work perfectly as stoppers, which you can place wherever you like.  I have an average sized wrist and find that this bangle fits best with about 12 beads.  Depending on the size of the beads, 12 or so will fill the top of your wrist plus a bit more.  For me, the bracelet would be too snug if I filled it up, which is fine because I like the way it looks and feels with just the pretty silver bangle showing for the last inch or so on each end.  I used mostly glass beads, with a few silver and one sparkly dangle.  I have found a new obsession!  It is so easy to change and arrange the beads and charms, and so many good deals out there .... I plan to keep collecting and just change the theme from time to time.
