Hi Ladies, I received my gold clad truffle bracelet in the 6-3/4 size today. On first looks it's a beauty. The truffle cages look like pretty lace with all the signature Ripka texturing. The diamonique is just enough for bling. Overall very feminine. I tried it on and i can easily clasp it on my 5-1/2 inch wrist, but it has too much of a drape for my liking. Then I looked closely at the Q photographs. Both the 6-3/4 inch and the 7-1/4 inch truffle bracelets in the clad pictures have 8 truffle balls. The difference between the two is that on the 6-3/4 inch, there is only one 'O' ring (the ring used to clasp the bracelet) which attaches to the end ring on the truffle , whereas on the 7-1/4 inch there are two 'O' rings that attach to the end ring of the truffle. Therefore there is probably not much of a difference in length between the small and average sizes. On the 8 inch truffle bracelet picture in the clad, there are 9 truffle balls. But taking the width of the truffles into consideration, I would say that if you have an 8 inch wrist, the bracelet may not fit or will fit with no drape at all. I held the bracelet to my neck and loved the look and feel of it as a necklace. So a truffle necklace seems very likely in my future !! I will wear the bracelet for a couple of days to see if the drape feels ok, else it is going back.
