There is a review on them that says you can't make them smaller.  You can make them larger but not smaller.  They wouldn't work for me for that reason, but I don't particularly like them anyway.

I'm an Alex and Ani fan

These are quite costly; no polishing for me

Stainless would have been nice for a TSV.  Maybe that will come in the future. I love the ones I do have, a mix of A&A (gifts) and I have the QVC Lire Bracelet.  I love them because they expand to fit over my arthritic hands but then fit my still small wrist.  They really don't go smaller, you can give them a little squeeze but I am very happy with the fit on my 6" wrist.

I would like to see some new themes as others have mentioned.  I just quickly Googled "symbols" and I see many choices that I think would be different and not difficult to manufacture.

I thought that QVC did offer a similar set in stainless steel not so long ago.  Not sure if they're still available, but they looked quite similar.

I've worn my extraordinary life bracelets in sterling silver every day for over a year now and have not noticed any tarnish.  I have another set of two that sits out on my dressing table unprotected and they haven't tarnished either.  I've yet to find the need to even polish them.

They're a little too cutesy for my taste.

Don't spend that amount of money on gifts unless a close family member. Also only sentiment that would suit my taste is "sunshine". Not buying but for those that do hope you enjoy! Recently purchased for myself a set of three bangle type bracelets in stainless and they are are very nice for 1/3 cost if this TSV, no charms though.

Personally, I don't like anything about the TSV. I see cheapy bracelets like this in Macy's and Kohls and elsewhere that look just like those. I dont like bagle or charm bracelets at all.

I have several Alex & Ani bracelets and several Extraordinary Life bracelets and to me, there's no comparison!  The A & A have a dull, unattractive finish, the EL bracelets are shiny and pretty and have stayed that way!

I don't know a single person who would want these vs. Alex & Ani.

Even though they are silver...they just aren't the same.

Well I do. I own one Alex and Ani and frankly the quality of these are so much better. First off, I can actually adjust the bracelet and it maintains the adjustment. My Alex and Ani is so thin and flexible that isn't possible. Plus for basically the same price I'm getting sterling silver. I took the initial charm off my bracelet and put it on another one and replaced it with a James Avery charm and it looks really nice. My only complaint about these is that the themes are not unique, it's just the same old same old.

That's exactly why I replaced the charm on mine with something that fits me better. The bracelet itself was worth the price to me.
