Has anyone received this bracelet? I received it Friday and couldn't get it in the package to send back to the Q fast enough. Absolutely no oxidation and it was way too big. The smaller size I think would be too small. It would have been pretty, but the silver was very bright and I like Barbara's oxidation. I thought it would be great because you can put charms on the ring and the width is a great size, but it unfortunately didn't work out for me. So disappointed!

Does anyone have this bracelet and would care to comment? Thanks!

Barbara Bixby Sterling & 18K Textured Link Bracelet 7-1/4 - J289795

Well, obviously about the bracelet. Do you like it? Does yours have oxidation? Do you not like it. Whatever.

Love mine. Yes, it's a less-oxidized piece than she usually does, but love the style and fit. I'm keeping mine. (You can try the "boiled egg" method to add oxidation to any piece if you want more.)

A jeweler can oxidize it for you if you find the right size.

I ordered the matching necklace the moment it was presented on air.....still waiting for it to arrive. My other Bixby pieces have arrived, but no necklace. Apparently it is traveling by stagecoach to CA. It is marked as shipped, but there is no tracking info. I called CS and was told to give the USPS until Sat. to deliver before I call again. I am so hopeful it will make it to me...but I am worried. I know I will love the necklace.

Most all my Bixby items tarnish pretty quickly .... I just opened the RIPKA tarnish -free jewelry box..... all the Bixby is tarnished. Not sure you need to do the egg trick.... seems to turn on it's own. I did get the OTO turq ring by Bixby and noticed the ring was shinier than usual.

As far as my ripka , it does not tarnish in the ripka jewelry box. I think because of the coating used on her pieces. Even my FRITZ humming bird cuff is covered with tarnish. The best anti-tarnish boxes for me, have been Colleen's jewelry boxes.

Well, you already said you're disappointed and couldn't return it fast enough. {#emotions_dlg.unsure}

I have the bracelet and the necklace & mine is not ALL polished silver but it does have slight oxidation but enough to make the peice stand out, which I prefer. When I saw the necklace presented it looked exactly the way I received it. If you prefer more of her standand heavily oxidated peices, than that bracelet is not for you. Plus it doesn't fit you either.

Yes ennui, I did return it. But was wondering what others thought. Is that a hard concept for you to understand?
