I have to say, I was swayed by the offer of a free bracelet with purchase. That I bought two meant I got two free, so I was very pleased with that. I got them for my nieces, and they will like them because I have already strewn the bracelets with beads (in the favorite colors of the recipients) - they came out beautifully. And the only downside is that the clasp, closure piece is a little tricky. It's hard to open easily... but the upside is, it will be unlikely to come undone by accident. I was happy enough with the purchase. But even though, I am not a fan of silver plated pieces, these bracelets are definitely pretty.
