I love the casual style of this bracelet. It's very well made. The cord is waxed so there is little chance of shredding. The shade of blue os not quite navy; I would say it has a bit of a purple tint. The beads are just right - not overdone. I would definitely buy a similar bracelet from this artist or buy this one again to give as a gift.
I bought this as a gift for my son and he really likes it. It is well-made and has a secure clasp. I would have no problem giving it as a gift for a woman, too.
