@Group 5 minus 1 ITA. If the gems don't go completely around my wrist, then forget it. I only have 5" wrists, and I don't want a bunch of long dangly things hanging off my wrist......but if you don't tighten them, the gems will drop down underneath. I think it's just a way for them to save money.

I'm like a bull in a china shop.

I can even break Legos

I purchased my first adjustable bracelet from the silver day show and it's just a matter of time for me to pull too hard when fixing the bead and it all falls apart in my lap.

I noticed the 2 best choices sold out early.

I absolutely love them. I bought two when they were the Gem day TSV tennis bracelet in Citrine and Rhodolite and they are still like new. The stones just glisten and the dangling chains add interest. My husband really likes them too.

I really like the fact that they are really secure because I can tighten them on my very small wrist. It's not likely that I will lose these. You just have to make sure they are substantial enough and you'll be fine.

If you are talking about the ones with the sliding ball, I absolutely love them. I will not buy any other type of bracelet ever again. Except for bangles. I wear a 7.75 bracelet, 7.5 is a tad to tight and 8 is a tad to large. So, the adjustables are perfect.

I'm with OP. I hate dangly stuff, I can't even wear a charm bracelet with one little charm. I'm in the middle of the road sizewise so just about every thing made will fit me in a medium. And if there's only one size I'm usually OK. Bought one of those silicone bead things when they first came out, ended up selling it on Ebay for a loss.

I agree.....don't care for them.....to me it makes the bracelet look more "costumey"................also i think it would annoy me with the dangle hanging down.........

I feel exactly the same way I do not want anything dangling around my wrist

Me too. They look cheap and will look dated soon.

Count me in the "love them" column! I own several and to me they are the perfect little summer accessory...I'm not sure I would wear them much in the winter, particularly with taking a jacket/coat on and off.

One word of warning though! If your car has a slit in the middle of the steering wheel (I have a Toyota and I'm talking about the area in the center where the horn is)---please be careful when driving with one of these bracelets on. Mine got caught in there while I was turning into a parking lot and my hand was stuck until I could pull into a parking spot and get it free.

I love them, but my pets don't care for the dangling ends in their face when I pet them.

The metal adjustables have the long dangle chain that drives me nuts. I put bracelets on and leave them for weeks but I can't do that with the adjustables because the chain gets in my way as I'm cooking, cleaning, gardening, etc.

I wear a size small 6-3/4 in a bracelet and they are hard to find. Thank goodness for QVC, they often have the three sizes in bracelets. I do not like the adjustable bracelets as I have tried a couple, never wear them as the dangling cord is annoying.

I do like stretch bacelets and many of them do fit my small wrist. HSN's Technibond used to have many great bracelets with the 3 sizes. Technibond has changed tremendously since I started watching it years ago. I'm glad I bought a lot when they offered genuine gems and many sizes and had a great selection of rings, bracelets, pendants in addition to necklaces. That is no longer true and I miss the old Technibond.

I love the concept but I can't stand anything dangling from my wrist, especially when I have my hands down on top of a table and the dangles make noise when they hit the table.

That's funny. You've never seen one. They aren't charms and there's no big heavy dangling thing that would make a noise. However, depending on the size of a womans wrist, I can see how women with teeny tiny wrists might have too much of the chain dangling.

I think that those adjustable bolo type bracelets are fun and I have a couple of them in sterling silver with cz stones. They are easy to put on. I have mine adjusted so I can roll it over my hand so I'm not pulling on it. I agree that they are probably a fad but I didn't spend a lot on them.

I also find some clasp bracelets hard to put on by myself. I usually pick bracelets that are on the bigger side so I can slide them on with the clasps closed up. My real preference are stretch bracelets that I don't have to fuss with. I make a lot of my own and make them bigger so that they are loose on my wrist.

Love the look, hate the function. I don't like the ends dangling onto my palm all day. Maybe I just got one that was too long.

Re: adjustable bracelets

RespectLife — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 13:25:55 GMT

I absolutely LOVE them!

I have extremely small wrists and these ALWAYS fit!

I wear my nails long and am blind as a bat!

Clasps are impossible unless my husband helps. I have tons of good bracelets that sit because I can't get them on quickly when dressing for work. Where are my glasses???? LOL

I LOVE the dangle! Adds a design to it!

I have given them as gifts and are always well received.

I will layer them...wear them w/ Alex & Ani etc. Wear them everyday! Bought them way back when first introduced and not one has broken.
