i bought this for my brother. It arrived and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. That, and also the packaging. Ive ordered cheap jewelry from amazon before, and it usually comes in a cheap plastic sleeve, in a padded envelope. This bracelet came in a really nice box, and when you open the box, it has a velvet'ish bag, surrounded by cotton. Inside the bag is where you find the bracelet. Just a little nicer than the usual packaging. The bracelet itself is very sturdy. The clasp is very sturdy, and I don't see it breaking anytime soon. The design looks nicer in person than in the photo, which is nice too.
