it is a lovely bracelet. it wraps around yor wrist so it is not tight. the beads are strung beautifully. i enjoy wearing both my bracelets tht are made like this one.
I made this purchase on my phone, so I didn't notice that some of the thread was metallic. It's even lovelier in person! It's very lightweight and festive, living up to its name of Alegria. One of my most favorite Novica purchases!
