Yesterday, this bracelet arrived, and it seemed (to me) that the whole room looked brighter and that spring had arrived. This is extra nice because we won't see Spring here in New England for another month, at least. The slightly longer than usual size was perfect, because the the bracelet is rather substantial, and at 7.25 inches, it fits beautifully.

I mentioned that the bracelet is substantial. It is. The gems are large, measuring about a 1/4" (~7mm) on each side, with a small flower studded with what look like tiny diamonds between each gem. The quality of each gem looks pretty nice as well, with no visible imperfections. (Can't say anything for the tiny diamonds, though.) The 18K plating over the silver matches my 18K bracelet perfectly.

This bracelet is a wonderful value, an everyone who has seen it has given me compliments. It would be a wonderful birthday or anniversary gift.

UPDATE: 12/29/2014. I have been wearing this bracelet almost every day since I wrote the initial review, and the bracelet was getting dirty. So, I dropped the bracelet in jewelry cleaner&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Connoisseurs-Jewellery-Cleaner-7-oz/dp/B000OVPC8K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Connoisseurs Jewellery Cleaner 7 oz.</a>&nbsp;overnight, assuming that I'd take the bracelet out the following morning.

But No, a thousand times NO!

The stones are clean, which was all right. But the metal - AGGGGH! It is now silver, gold, copper, dark blue and green, with no positive pattern, just a drizzled and ugly bracelet, with lovely stones which are nice and clean. I just don't know why this did what it did to my bracelet.
