I Love This Set Of Bracelets, I Just Hope They Stay Tight!
INTRO:<br /><br />This product is a set of two beaded string bracelets, one has a single row of beads and the other has 2 rows of beads.  Each features 3 types of bead — Tigers Eye, Black Obsidian, and Hematite.<br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />I think these bracelets are very attractive!<br /><br />They’re lightweight.<br /><br />They’re handmade with quality craftsmanship.<br /><br />They’re unisex — and for reference, I’m a male.<br /><br />It matches perfectly with denim jeans and the other various shades of blue tops I like to wear.<br /><br />CONS:<br /><br />The beads at the end of the drawstrings, and the motion of them dangling down, initially bothered me — I found them to be an annoying distraction.  Over time, I realized that if I tightened the bracelet with the slipknot toward the side of my wrist, it changed the angle of how they dangled, and now I’m not bothered as much.  To be fair, just simply having some time to adjust to the sensation of wearing this new kind of bracelet on my wrist, had also helped.<br /><br />The #1 thing I don’t like about this bracelet, is that I frequently have to adjust it to tighten it back up — it loosens up on its own about once an hour.  I have a very similar bracelet in different colors from another seller, and I have the same loosening-up issue with it, however, I have to say these bracelets from Starmond stay secured longer than the other brand, but they also eventually loosen up as well.  For that reason, I have to take a star off my rating for this frustrating experience.<br /><br />ADDITIONAL NOTES:<br /><br />I found the bracelet with a single row of beads to feel more petite and feminine, so I gave that one to my wife.  I kept the double-row bracelet for myself.<br /><br />REVIEW SUMMARY:<br /><br />Despite the bracelet loosening up on its own from time to time, I do love this piece of jewelry.  With the adjustments I made to how I wear it as well as having some time to adjust to it, the concerns I had about the hanging beads are fading.  That said, I’ll always worry about how the slipknot will hold up over time — if it eventually loosens up and can no longer hold the strings tightly, I don’t have the skill set to fix it and the bracelet likely won’t stay closed at that point.<br /><br />VERDICT:<br /><br />I recommend them!<br /><br />IMPORTANT NOTE:<br />I spend a very lengthy amount of time using the products I review, and I often spend even longer documenting them in writing, photos, and occasionally videos, for your benefit.
