Hello-

I received my amethyst bracelet today and really love it. I ordered a size larger than normal as the measurements seemed like it was a bit short, and I am glad I did.

My husband bought it for me (a rare thing at my house ) for my 50th which comes in May and this is my son's birthstone so it is going to be a very special piece for me always.

I was wondering about the second bar closure across the bottom of the clasp. Mine is fairly sharp where the tip of it sticks out the side of the bracelet/clasp. Do any of you savvy Ripka shoppers have other Ripka bracelets with this unique type of clasp had any experience with this? I am considering bringing it to my jeweler to have it smoothed a bit?

Best wishes to all of you that also got this bracelet - enjoy!

I would definitely take it to your jeweler for smoothing out...it's an easy fix...and better than sending it back, as the replacement might not be as satisfactory in color, etc.

Matinminn...

I agree with Sheesh...take it to a jewelry if it bothers you, it should be smooth.

I am expecting my BT tomorrow and I wondered why it is not coming signature required, Mine is coming UPS ground. Did you have to sign for yours?

I have a 5.5" wrist and I always order small and still have some room so I trust mine will fit fine, I'd rather have a closer fit than not.

How would you say yours fits??

Hi Waterbaby -

I ordered UPS red shipping. I was quite impatient to have it and I like to have tracking so I know where it is! There was No signature required. No signature required on the black spinel multi gemstone either - a.k.a. the confetti cuff. I think the dollar value is closer to 2,000 for signature?? not sure?

I am pretty sure yours will fit PERFECTLY. I have a 6 3/4 inch wrist so an Average or 7 1/4 fit is usually best for me, but the measurements for the Average bracelet on QVC description indicated the 7 1/4 fit was actually a 7 1/8 inch length, so I was worried it might stick to my wrist or be uncomfortable in the summer and in Minnesota I will wear this more in summer than winter. (think long sleeves/layers/coats/gloves/mittens - so a bracelet like this won't get much wear in the winter) and I don't like tightness, I like my bracelet to be able to move so - after much agonizing - with both average and large in my cart for almost an hour - I ordered the Large - 8 inch fit which QVC description says is 7 3/4 inch long. In reality, when I measure it the 8 inch fit bracelet is actually barely 7 1/2 inches long. So I am very happy with the size.

I looked it over pretty close - it is really nice. Wait til you see it - you are gonna love it... !

waterbaby - yours will fit just fine. I have a 6"" wrist and got a small and it's a good close fit with maybe a pinky of drape.

wish I could see the blue in a pic! I know it's going to be marvelous. this bracelet is really the cat's p.j.'s!!!!
