I bought this bracelet when I was just starting out with beads. Since it has that screw off end, I thought it would be great to get beads off and on with and, at that time, did not think it mattered if the bracelet was sterling or not.
And it really depends on how many times you will take your beads on an off of this. I have only done so twice and the plate is still on the bracelet and the screw still works like a charm. I put brown beads on it and am happy with it, so it probably will not be taken apart.
I agree with the first reviewer about the size of the clasp. It is quite small and I have to get someone to help me with this.
But all in all, for the price, it is a good deal, but only if you plan to put the things on and forget it. It does take sterling to put up with the on and off and piddling around that one can do to rearrange beads and charms. Especially for girls and parties, you need a bracelet that stands up to LOTS AND LOTS of handling. This is more of a one time gig than something which will stand up to the pressures of being opened and shut multiple times!
For something that will handle the hard knocks, get sterling.
