i had an amazon giftcard with a small amt. on it and thought this bracelet looked cute.  well, not so much cute as kinda earthy, sturdy yet just delicate enough to be pretty.  i'm really loving the orange-y bead more than i thought i would.  it's my favorite color and i wear the bracelet with the bead hanging over my hand.  it looks great with my big round silver ring and next to the other silver beaded bracelet i wear, making a real multi-strand statement.  i also like the silver tube bead that seems to be unique to this design.  i usually only buy handmade directly from designer so i can get things custom made really tiny to fit my wrist (or hand actually, as hand size is what determines whether or not a bracelet falls off; you can have tiny wrists but if your hands are huge the bracelet won't slip but that's not the case with me).  since it said 5 inches i figured i'd be okay.  i can tighten the bracelet to a little over six inches around which is fine.  the strings do slip and i need to tighten it from time-to-time.  i also cut the strings down and re-tied the end-beads to just long enough to get the thing over my wrist so there's not much dangling around with beads on end (drives the cat crazy and he attacks my arm :)  the whole bracelet tends to slip around to the front of my wrist but that happens with my other bracelets that are heavier on one side too so i just slip them all back. very fun, cool and pretty, and seems to be well-made.
