This bracelet is very pretty, but very delicate.  If someone was active you would not want them to wear it.  It feels like it would break easily - that being said, it is very pretty and sweet - perfect gift for a young teen or even younger - be sure you measure your wrist or the intended wearer's wrist - I have very VERY small wrists and it fits me, but it wouldn't fit my friend with larger wrists - it is about 7 1/2 inches long as advertised.  It is real sterling silver and a great bargan for the price!
