With this style of bracelet, I expect it to be fairly fitted to my wrist, like a watch.  I hate bracelets that dangle.  This bracelet is too big for my taste in that it hangs loosely on my wrist (and I am not small boned). With all the stones, it's also fairly heavy, so it's not the kind of bracelet you want dangling around, and when it dangles it makes a lot of noise.  Having said that, though, the stones are nice looking and substantial - not cheap.  I find that if I cross the strands over each other I can get it to stay in place, although it doesn't look as nice as it otherwise would.
