Natural Lava Gemstone and Mixed Bead Chakra Bracelet, Round 8mm, 1 Bracelet, Black/Assorted

I bought one of these bracelets and I bought 10 of the matching one that is on a stretch cord, that is not adjustable. I thought that I would restring the stretch cord bracelets. However they are so well made that I have not done so and have given them as gifts as they were made. This bracelet is advertised as being 7-9 inches however, I have it as tight as the string will go and I can still slip it off over my hand without opening it up. The knot that is supposed to be tight up against the lava beads on each side is not. If I move the beads and make the knot tight against the one side, the other side (lava bead) is 1/4 of an inch away from the knot. I wish that I could buy 10 more of the ones on the stretch cord at the sale price, since they work so well. I would have liked to review the stretch cord bracelet, but I could not find a link to do so. The beads on both bracelets are the same and are very nice. Stick with the stretch bracelet unless your wrists are larger than 7 to 8 inches. My wrist is small at 5 1/2 inches, but I can wear the stretch bracelet.

This bracelet is pretty, but I can't wear it because the "sliding, knot closure" doesn't slide. As a result, I can't adjust it to fit me so can't use it. It falls off my hand because I can't make it small enough. Frustrating!
