This is such a pretty bracelet, but one with flaws unfortunately.  As much as I like the looks of it, I can't say I'd necessarily recommend getting it unless they made a few changes.

The bracelet is composed of stainless steel, with three balls studded with Swarovski crystals, and two silver balls that go in-between.  Between two of the crystal balls is the clasp, which is a claw like clasp (not sure of the proper name for this type).  The whole effect is one of sparkly and shiny, which is a good thing.  The light catches the crystals very well and it always seems to be twinkling with the slightest of movements.  That being said, I do have one complaint about the appearance, and that's if you look closely at the crystal balls, it kind of looks like a bunch of crystals studded into a styrofoam ball that oozes in between the crystals.  Not noticeable from a distance fortunately though.

So what's the real problem with this bracelet then?  Well, it broke the first night out I wore it.  I wasn't doing anything strenuous either, just out with some friends having a drink and as I was sitting there it fell to the floor.  Upon closer inspection it's one tiny little steel rod that's inserted into the crystal ball that came out.  Whatever adhesive they used to keep it in there failed.  I would try to fix it myself, but I don't have any kind of adhesive that wouldn't expand and gloop and make a mess of the crystal and am unsure of how to do a fix with such a tiny area to work with.  Regardless, it shouldn't have broke on the first wear anyway.

Maybe mine was just faulty but I would be careful when buying this product.  I'm sure it can be fixed but after buying such a piece, it's probably not what someone wants to do.  Buy with caution.
