First of all, I want to say that this seller is a dream to work with!  Before I ordered, I asked about the resizing option & quickly received a response that I would just need to email the size I wanted after I placed the order.  When I received the bracelet, there was a handwritten note on the receipt that it was custom for (my name).  The description says the hematite beads are 8mm, but I have 8mm pieces & these beads are larger, probably 10mm.  To me, that makes it large enough to make a statement as a stand-alone piece.  The hematite is gorgeous, as is the highly detailed Buddha head bead.  Very striking when worn.  It's very comfortable to wear, especially since it's the right size!  The combination of the protective energy of hematite, combined with the Buddha head bead that is very meaningful to me, gives me a sense of peace & safety when I wear it.  BTW, I am a female &, even though this is listed as a men's item, I think it is also perfect for a woman, especially if you have a bit larger wrist, as I do.  The seller kept me informed on when it shipped, since the custom sizing can take just a bit longer.  The bracelet arrived in a soft fabric bag to store it in, inside a zip-lock type of plastic bag for jewelry, with the receipt inside, noting the custom order.  I have ordered more items from this seller since I ordered this one, as I can finally get pieces that fit comfortably - at no extra charge to boot!  I believe that anything you order from this seller will be a winner.
