No More 8 Inch Bracelets?

Love that canary bracelet but why didn't she do one in 8 inches? Cutting costs?

Blingie, it's like with the TSV in December, the 118-facet one. They said it was 7 3/4; however, it fit just like all of my 8 inch bracelets of hers. I wonder if it's "vanity sizing" used by the company that bought her out.

In the beginning when Judith was on the Q, there was really no such thing as a "large" bracelet, especially in the cuffs. There were 2 sizes, and sometimes they called the bigger one "large" -- but that larger size then would be a medium today.

Sammycat, don't mess with me. I'm so confused! I have vertigo and a sinus infection as it is, and about to pass out after seeing the new stuff. lol!

BGDC, I had vertigo with pneumonia this winter, so I feel your pain. Rest up so you have your strength for later this week!

Don't look at numbers for now so you don't spin out of control! Just look at the pretty sparklies and dream.

I hope vanity sizing doesn't mean that 6 3/4" is more like 7 1/4". I can wear a 7" bracelet but 7 1/4" is just that tiny bit too big for me. I know it's silly to fuss about a tiny fraction of an inch, but it matters to me.

I don't even know which way to turn, but I know if I turn my head left I end up drifting towards the wall - lol. I am really liking all of the new blue hematite (necklace, ring and clip-on) and Walter the fish has stolen my heart already! Speaking of fish, do you think the bh necklace will be a flipper? Decisions. I guess I'll wait until showtime.

Anything catch your eye? I know that you love stones, so how about pin, cuff, aquamarine?

Thanks for the sympathy. Huge sinus stuff plus vertigo - not happy.

No more head turning for you!

On the BH "flipper" situation: I think we need to see how the necklace is engineered. I like a 20 inch necklace, but sometimes the length in something like this leads to "flippage" and an 18 is better.

Your fish is so cute. You know I went like a laser toward those aquamarines....and I want to see what else is coming up. They're not letting us see the whole booty yet!

Feel better soon. We can't have you running into walls while chatting during the shows!

Blingie,

I'm out of it today, but there is a limon quartz and rose quartz line bracelet. Are you thinking the limon is canary?

That's the one BGDC. I thought it was a canary yellow bracelet. Was hoping it was. It would have matched all my Ripka canary rings. Hope you get over your sunus infection and vertigo quickly. Get well BGDC!!

If that is how it fits then I'll be ok. Have to say this is just the thinking stage right now. I paid off all my Visa cards and not sure if I want another high bill to pay off. Thinking, thinking, thinking, lol.

I just bought her 8" Square cut diamonique bracelet (Shawn's bracelet) after wanting it forever! Turns out it's actually only 7 1/2! My wrist is a flat 7" but I like the drape. It fit more like a 7 1/4" because it's a thicker bracelet.

I LOVED THAT BRACELET!~ I'm heartbroken because I sent it back to QVC yesterday. I had two strong "clicks" closing it, one from the tongue going into the lock, and a second one taking the little bar and closing it under the clasp. BUT, I wore the bracelet non stop for over a week (except to sleep or shower) and the little locking bar is getting loose... now slopping side to side prior to locking it. I know from all the reviews that this is not a good sign on a $430 bracelet!!

Very sad to have sent it back but for the price of that bracelet the clasps should work very well AND it should make coffee.

I hope 6-3/4"" isn't going away! They fit me so perfectly it's like she made them just for me.
