To all the viewers who said that they hate these adjustable bracelets.........I always felt the same way.

Until I actually bought one. 

One day I was browsing at Kohl's and saw the most beautiful opal bracelet. Dang, if it wasn't adjustable. I thought that I might as well try it on and see how I felt about it. It was so stunning that I decided I would buy it - even though I wasn't a fan of this kind of bracelet.

I now own a few adjustable bracelets. I love how easy they are to wear. I don't have to struggle with clasps, or worry about breaking a nail on a tight safety catch. And I love how I can adjust the bracelet and make it tighter or looser. I've also never had it catch on anything, maybe I'm just lucky!

I'm not a fan of the adjustable bracelets, either, and I'm a woman with a fairly large wrist so there wouldn't be as much dangle. I'd rather pay more for a well-crafted, secure, appropriately sized bracelet or cuff.

The trend that I'm growing to despise in all the TSVs and Big Deals and such is adding white topaz or Diamonique to every darn piece of gemstone jewelry. In virtually all cases, I think it cheapens the overall look and takes away from the presence and beauty of the main stone(s). In this TSV, the diamond cutting actually had a similar effect in an already-weighed-down "frame" around each gemstone. I love all the silver, but if I'm choosing a colored stone, I want to see it!

Anyone else tired of these adjustable bracelets?  I can't stand having a long piece of chain dangling around my wrist.  Plus it's always in the way while I'm at work on my computer.  I wish this trend would go away.

@KJV  I am so over this style, but it’s much less inventory for Q to order. They’d have to order S,M & L in all colors. We’d eventually see them on clearance or at sale prices. They took the safe way out.

That's a great point about dogs and pets in general.  I can also see that dangling chain getting caught in something pretty easily.

@KJV....Most likely in your dinner plate.

If we buy them, they will continue to have them made.  One and done for me, I'll wait for sized bracelets.

Adjustable bracelets are more or less a fad. Sooner or later their time will be over.

Remember the colors of silver jewelry? 'Y' necklaces?  Druzy?
