This is a very attractive bracelet. It is a generous size and is rugged-looking, perfect for men. Sadly, the construction of it is the weak point. The braid is held together merely by wrapping cord around it. This does loosen up and fall apart, causing the bracelet to fall apart. This weakness may be strengthened by applying a little glue to the wrapped around section. I hope that does solve the issue, because this is a very attractive bracelet!
