Sizing:  17cm vs 19cm
My wrist measures about 15.1cm.  I was planning to primarily wear this plain, but I liked the idea of having the option to occasionally add beads to it.  I typically size up two centimeters, so I thought the 17cm would be fine. (Aurora suggests to go up a size when adding beads, so I might have gone straight to a 19cm, if this was my primary goal.)<br /><br />Even after gently shaping it a bit, I found that it was just a touch too small. Turning my wrist would move the opening into uncomfortable positions. Knowing that I would likely have to return it, I did not feel comfortable shaping it any further (trying to get the opening a bit more closed and comfortable).<br /><br />I loved the beautiful pattern, the thickness and the weight upon my wrist. I really wanted it to work, but had too strong a doubt. So, I decided to try the 19cm.<br /><br />The 19cm is slightly too large, but I can close it enough to sit comfortably on my wrist. I'm slightly concerned about having to flex the metal to open and close it a little bit each time to make it sit comfortably, but honestly, I've barely taken it off since recieving it. I even sleep with it on.<br /><br />Although I feel this is quite expensive for the amount of silver you get, I absolutely love my new bracelet.  I think it even more beautiful in person and I would suggest to anyone considering it, to give it a chance.
