Simply put this bracelet is awesome! It is very comfortable and looks quite elegant. The earth beads are not big at all! And the Buddha head came off really small when i first opened the package, but now it is non-bothersome, and looks rather good. The stretching band is great, not to tight, not to loose. However because of its elasticity, i do not wear it in the water or when i go on trampolines or cliff jumping or anything along those lines, because my flipping/any force put on it easily takes this bracelet off my wrist. And obviously i don't want to lose it or break it. I also asked for a custom fit for no extra charge! And it came exactly as i wished. The worker does phenomenal work. If you're into Buddhism, Tibetan history, meditation, a gift or as something simple as high fashion, I'm recommending this bracelet to you!
