"Gorgeous, rich in color."
My wrist is a bit thin and I wish there was a way to tighten it without having so much dangle (I'll find a way), but otherwise: gorgeous! It's simple but rich in appearance, and I am a lover of green and gold mixtures.

"Very pretty"
I like this bracelet and am glad I bought it. Will probably end up giving to a granddaughter. My only concern is that it comes undone a bit too easily. I'm afraid I might lose it, or one of the granddaughters might, if it falls off unnoticed.
