With the majority of jewelry (and pandora bracelets) in silver it is not that easy finding gold or gold plated bracelets with add-a-bead capability. So this was a RARE find for me and I jumped on it! Silver doesn't go with my skin tone but gold does. Although with my skin I also end up tarnishing anything that is not real GOLD when it has prolonged exposure to my skin. I'm hoping to completely cover the gold chain portion which would only leave the clasp part tarnishing. After one day of wear I can already see a difference. But you do get what you pay for and had this been REAL gold I would not be able to afford it. So for the money, this bracelet (rare in gold) is beautiful, especially if your skin won't tarnish it then it is a GREAT bracelet!
