I only have a few earrings from this line but love Art Deco, so took the plunge with this bracelet today on a sale price, easy pay and free shipping. Does anyone have this bracelet and can tell me if the clasp is secure. I see from reviews that some are unhappy, but I took a chance because I know with a box and tongue clasp you may have to pry the tongue apart a bit to get a snug closure.

That is a beautiful bracelet.  I don't have that one (I only buy gemstone jewelry), but I have found her clasps to be much more secure than other lines of jewelry I've tried.  I've never had one of hers fail.

@2blonde Thank you for responding. I thought the design was very pretty too (well, I guess that's obvious because I bought it, lol). I didn't buy myself anything for the past few christmases, so today I did! 

Eta: sadly, I cancelled my order after reading the other thread on the poor quality of the bracelet. I trust your reviews.

I purchased this bracelet when it was first introduced.  It has a secure fancy clasp.  It is a gorgeous bracelet that can be layered.

@SunValley  I'm sorry you were disappointed.  I've always found her jewelry to be high quality, but rather pricey.  I will say, though, that I've noticed QVC tends to put items on sale that have had bad reviews or have had many returns.  A Bixby bracelet with a magnetic clasp I almost ordered comes to mind.

I think this might be the case. I do appreciate everyone's responses.

I have it, love it, & never had any problems w/ the clasp!

[expectmiracles]

I received it a few months ago. The day that I got it, I put it on and haven't taken it off since. Love it and get tons of compliments.  I have not had any problems with the clasp at all. Enjoy it!

I bought that bracelet when they had it on a sale price weeks ago.  I loved it on air and loved it even more when I received it!  I wore it for about a week and a half without taking it off and all of a sudden one day, it dropped off my wrist onto the floor.  I was home when it happened, luckily.  I tried and tried to reclasp it and couldn't.  When I went on line to give my review of the bracelet having a faulty clasp, I was shocked by all of the other reviews stating the same thing!  I was very disappointed as I absolutely loved this bracelet!  I returned the bracelet right away. 

A few people stated that they sent their faulty one back and ordered another in the hopes that the clasp would be ok...I thought about doing that but didn't since I was afraid that the bracelet would fall off in a public place and I would lose it and be out the money I paid for it.

I'm surprised QVC is selling this with so many complaints!  It's not like a few people complained about the clasp, there were many, many complaints so it's not an isolated incident, by any means!
