So I just bought the Alhambra pave bracelet, and I had it resized 2 times. The first time, I didn’t like the fit, so I sent it out again. Today, I received it back and the bracelet is 18cm. I’m leaving to France today, so I wanted to bring the bracelet with me for my trip, I didn’t take a close look outside of checking that the fit was correct.

Usually, when the bracelet is resized to 18cm, the spacing is 7-9-9-7 links between the motifs. In my case, the spacing is 9-9-9-9 but they removed two links out from the ends.

I know a lot of people complain that uneven spacing bothers them. But I had actually come to terms with the asymmetry, and it doesn’t bother me. Either way, I wasn’t expecting this type of result… I’m not sure if it’s better or worse than the standard format.

What are your thoughts? Would you have it resized, so the bracelet conforms with the standard spacing scheme?

Nope! I think it looks great. Safe travels :D

Leave it and enjoy it! This is the 'mistake' that many people wished can happen :loveeyes:

Ah, thank you for the feedback. Finally landed in France.

The one thing I notice is that the motifs near the clasp are very close together, compared to spacing of the motifs around the bracelet. You think it still looks okay when it’s worn on the wrist?

Oh wow, they really took out all the links around the clasp and the ring. It doesn't look bad tbh and won't be noticeable on your wrist. I'll take 1 uneven spacing over 3 uneven spaces (if you opt for 7-9-9-7). Have a safe & fun trip!

That would bother me, because the 2 on bottom are so close together, and so far away from the other motifs. But it really depends on your taste.
Mine has the other configuration. I’ll show pics to give an idea on how this way looks. It’s all personal preference.
