No, sorry, this particular bracelet can not be sized to 8.5 inches as we can only remove links in pairs from it and every pair of links is just over an inch, so removing even one link from this bracelet will make it under 8 inches and will proportionally decrease the carat weight of diamonds. For 8 1/2 inch diamond bracelet with color diamonds please take a look at bracelet item code 800303 here: https://www.itshot.com/solid-gold-mens-diamond-bracelet-yellow-blue-white-25-ct
