Do you think it fair that they charge the same price for a bracelet that goes from XS to XLG, ranging from 26 grams up to 29.5 grams????

1 Gram =

0.72 USD

a gram is less than a dollar

Apples to oranges.  They do not provide amount of fabric used in the sizes, but they do state the difference in gram weights of the jewelry.

@rms1954 Yes, I believe it is "fair."

At today's spot price scrap value of sterling silver is .55 / gram.  The biggest range for the difference within this item is 3.5 grams which would be less than $2.  Not sure what your point is with the insignificant difference?

@rms1954 No, I do not believe it is fair regardless of price difference, even if it is just a few dollars. Some bracelets have gemstones and more detail therefore, 1 1/2" could amount to more than just a few dollars. I rarely buy a bracelet that I have to pay the same as one that is an inch or two larger. Item J388519 and J388521 as well as J388667 and J388677 are great examples of how I believe prices should be. It's only about $5-7 difference but is totally fair if you are purchasing less precious metals. Why should a smaller wristed person have to pay for the extra precious metal needed for a larger person?

Silver is cheap. Anything they might mix with the silver is cheap. It's nice they don't charge more for larger sizes when the contents are so cheap.

If you came with me when I purchase my silver in sheets to make cuffs and earrings, you'd know silver is not a cheap, inferior metal. 

The sheet silver at Amazon, I assume retail price, is about $42 for a piece 6" X 1". That's enough to make one average (7") cuff. The ideal size is 6" with a 1" gap when on the wrist.

Of course, I usually buy silver, sheets and wire  at wholesale prices in large quanities, so the price is less.
