Has anyone had one link (double-link) removed between the 5 motifs, so a total of 4 removed? I wouldn't mind my motifs being closer, but I don't want the bracelet too short, either. I normally wear standard 7" bracelets, but the VA is more like 7.5" I'd love to know what the total length is with the 4 links removed. I was hoping to go to a boutique that had shortened samples to try on, but clearly that isn't happening anytime soon! Thanks in advance!
