I ordered a small size in the beginning and sent it back for the 8". Filts wonderfully. I have the 3 row necklace as well. Love it too. I agree with some other buyers that they wish the toggle was a bit bigger. Easier to handle. Just a wonderful bracelet. Stones are absolutely gorgeous.

I spent literally a half an hour trying to get the bracelet on. I even tried clasping it when it was ~off~ and had a hard time. FINALLY, I was able to get it on (and off!) ... and I will keep it because it's beautiful and I got the matching necklace ...
But as so many have said --- it's not as long as advertised (I got an 8" that is NOT 8") and with that kind of clasp, BOTH ends need to have sufficient length of chain attached to be able to manipulate the toggle.
As for the 2 strands being of different length? I expected that -- it is part of the bracelet's design and something that IMO makes it unique. The stones are also gorgeous and all of mine were in perfect condition.

Too Many Flaws

There are too many flaws with this bracelet. I agree with other comments...the toggle clasp needs a larger loop and a shorter "baton", there needs to be more small silver rings at each end of the clasp and the bracelet needs to be lenthened as it is just short of 8 in. I expect much, much more from designer jewelry.

I just ordered for the third time. It's true the bracelet is beautiful but the toggle is awful. Two stones on my 1st bracelet were damaged. The 2nd size 7 too small & 1 stone damaged. I really hope the third is a winner because it's lovely & I want it to work. Like others I may replace toggle myself. Please let Studio Barse know they need to stress quality as well as beauty. This is my first experience w/Barse and it is quite disappointing.

This bracelet is Very beautiful, but I know I won't get to wear it very often. You need two people to get the thing on and off!! The toggle is just way to small for the weight of the bracelet. I just might put a new toggle on it myself, as I am going to keep it. The stones are absolutely beautiful.

This bracelet is pretty, but where is quality control!! One strand was longer than the other and the clasp was so hard to work with. I never did get it on. It was not a 8" bracelet!! Very disappointed, and of course I did not get my shipping refunded when I sent it back. I don't know if I received the wrong size or is this what they consider 8"?
I have many 8" bracelets and never have a problem with size. If you are going to sell an 8" bracelet make it 8" HSN.

Honestly, what is quality control if you can't catch a flaw before trying to sell a product? The bracelet is nice, but the clasp makes it impossible to put on. I think I could have handled paying a couple of extra bucks for a better clasp.

I loved this bracelet. However, the first time I wore it, the wire attaching the beads to the toggle broke. It seems that the wire or string is not stong enough to hold the heavy beads. Sending it back. I would buy it again if they reinforce. Also, the toggle is very small and thin for the heaviness of the bracelet.

I have a very small wrist and found that it took forever to get the toggle to go through the hole. As the last reviewer stated, they needed a few more silver links added and did not bend the toggle. I don't have the time to fight with it. I am pretty sure that I am sending it back.

I ordered this bracelet in 8" length and it is way too small. If they had added just a few silver links this bracelet would have been adjustable, and would have fit everyone. Sad to say the bracelets, I ordered 2, will have to go back. They are beautiful!!!!!
