I had originally bought the 8" Zable bracelet before Christmas and had to return it due to being too long for my wife's wrist. That resulted in a refund rather than an even exchange, so I wound up paying $10 more for the 7-1/2" bracelet. I rated it 4 stars because the 7-1/2" version has a screw-on loop end which has to be removed to put charms on the bracelet. The 8" version had a soldered loop end that allowed charms to go over it. A previous review of the 7-1/2" bracelet stated that the buyer had problems with the end staying on. While I feel this is a less desirable design, we're going to give it a try.
