Even though it's listed as 7.5" with a 1" extender, I measure it a full inch shorter with a 1" extender.  I have a small frame and it barely fits onto my wrist. When I get watch bands I have the jeweler remove links from the band! I can't imagine how a larger wrist would wear this at all, it doesn't stretch.

Also, most of the pearls have a ring around them, presumably from being held to drill holes.  In one the nacre is cut down to near the center of the pearl and is quite obvious.  The dark cord I find attractive and different but the crystals look cheap, like they are made for children's jewelry.  You can tell the pearls are real by the feel on your teeth.

Taking the seals off of the box removed some of the box so if you are giving it as a gift, that would be a visual problem, but it does come in a lovely velvet sack.

I would not recommend buying this product with all the flaws I've mentioned above.
