I have no problems with the quality of the bracelet. I do have an issue you should be aware of. The regular stopper beads don't fit over the clasp end. I will have to order the stoppers that are hinged and go over the bracelet.  The same is true for the necklace. The beads sold in packages are attractive but the metal barrels come out very easily.  An inexpensive option for changing colors, but doesn't compare to the higher price "charmed memories" I have from the jeweler.
