Fleeting Beauty Through Cheap Materials

Do you too need a solar system bracelet in your life? Do you covet seeing the rings of Saturn or the moody glitter of Jupiter on your wrist? Skip this product unless you want heartache and irritation. For all the pretty appearance, the bracelet's beauty is fleeting. Do you feel like seeing beads bouncing over your floor or a snapped chain?Shoddy craftsmanship makes the chain incredibly fragile, as it's not up to even gentle treatment. Case in point, I have owned two of these bracelets now and neither lasted longer than two days before the clasp broke off or the chain clean snapped through. Let's be clear on the activities I participated in: typing on a computer, drinking a cup of tea, going out for two walks, putting on a coat, answering my phone, cooking, reading a book. None of these count as especially strenuous and I didn't subject the bracelet to swimming, showering or a daily run.The failure point for both bracelets came in the clasp and the chain. My wrists aren't especially large. The first I wore comfortably close, but not snug. The chain lacks any larger links or loops to connect the clasp to, a design flaw that will put stress on a cheap chain a kindergartner could snap with very little effort. If you purchase this, raid your craft or jewelry supplies for a larger ring loop. You can buy them for under a dollar at most stores or Revain.The failure point is really the flimsy chain. It's not made to withstand the rigors of brushing against other surfaces or rolling up and down your arm. Even on its loosest setting allowing the clasp to run freely over the tiny links, it snaps or cracks. It's far too delicate for children and adults. I have experienced breakage midway down the chain and whatever metal is used in the construction has the durability of a tinfoil strip. Short of completely replacing the chain with something sturdier, I can't think of any way to overcome the cheap materials and weakness.Save your money and purchase something more durable. This really is a pretty piece and it's unfortunate that it wouldn't put up with basic wear and tear.

Pros
  • Nice.
Cons
  • May be too over-the-top for some tastes
