Whoever designed these stoppers should be arrested and jailed, at the very least.  What kind of garbage is this?  My fingers are almost broken trying to get these on my bracelet.  My husband was able to "thread" it after about 20 minutes of applying super human pressure and hurting his own hands.  I don't know why Pandora doesn't make decent stoppers (and affordable) of its own but these are just horrendous.
