@Rose429.  I remember someone here having the same problem.  As I recall she had no luck whatsoever getting any response or cooperation from the company. They have a website where you can inquire. 

 

I'd take it to a local jewelry to determine if it can be repaired and get an estimate.

 

My suggestion would be to not wear your Jai bracelets at night.  The wear they get with twisting in one's sleep has ruined many a bracelet.

@Kachina624  I never thought about not wearing my bracelet at night. It fell off my wrist when I got up this morning. Guess I was being lazy and wasn't taking it off.  Thanks for the advice, it makes sense.

Good idea to never wear any jewelry at night.

 

Not good to add to the wear and tear of any jewelry pieces.

@Rose429  JAI has a Facebook page, and so does Jill.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

I have had five bracelets. . .four have broken.  I am not hard on my stuff; but I do wear it and it was understood it was to be "worn". . . I contacted Scott Grimes when he was still the rep. . . he was so kind.  It is an option to send it in for repair; however it is overseas.  

The problem as I see it is the design of the little wire that allows the ends to swivel.  Which at the time I loved the idea. . .just like my lead ropes for my horse.  Bingo . .great idea.

However, the wire wears and then.. . there you are

 

The new line of Scott's. . is not desgined this way and he said there have been problems.  .thus he has addressed it in his beautiful new items.

 

I think I will purchase his now. .I feel better about them.

 

I loved Jill as the rep now. . JAI. . needs to fix that.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Clairfying. . . I misspelled designed. . And I want to be clear that Christian James jewelry does not use the swivel.

I have had my Jai bracelet for probably 7 years. Shortly after I got it the clasp broke. Fortunately it fell off in my kitchen.  I took it to a jeweler and she soldered the swivel to be stationary. I've been wearing the bracelet non-stop ever since. Have never taken it off. I never could see the point of that swivel clasp. The fact that they have never changed that design has prevented me from any other bracelets.

@ellaphant .  Jill is the one who says she wears hers all the time.  In bed and in the shower.  That is what I was doing but now I will take them off before bed and disregard Jill's advice.
