I was searching for one of these bracelets tht didn't have the diamond looking crystal balls all around it so whn I saw this solid black on amazon, I had to get it......the price is affordable and the quality of the bracelet is great... To avoid damage, I take the bracelet off at bedtime and I don't shower with it. Ive had mine for about 3 wks now and will be ordering more for me and my teen daughter! And it comes in a nice jewelry box too!
