Went into store for my newest bag yesterday and a bracelet I requested had come in. I absolutely love it. First thing I thought of when I woke up hahaha

So I’m torn because it hangs pretty low but my SA said going one link smaller may fit/ go on easily since the toggle is so large. There is something about how this hangs that I love also but wanting to get opinions.

It looks a bit large to me, I would try sizing down. Otherwise stunning bracelet on you!

I also have this bracelet and love it but that’s too big on you. You are going to lose it. I bought mine at FSH and had all sizes to choose from. The SA said this is the right size for me. It is a bit of a challenge with the large toggle clasp but you get used to it and you do not want to lose it.

Lovely, I just bought the same one. I tried on three or four sizes. I will check to see where mine hangs but it does need to be a bit larger otherwise you cannot get the big toggle through. I have the hardest time getting it on myself.

I will try on a size down and see where that lands me. I’m in love with it!

Thank you darling! My SA is already bringing in another size. I’m hopeful one size down give me the look I’m going for without it being too snug or big!

Ahh ok! I didn’t think it would slip off but it felt too low on my palm if that makes sense. I’m hoping one size down will do the trick!!

So stunning on you. Hermes silver makes me go weak at the knees!
Another vote here for finding this a tad smaller. Then it would be perfect on you!

Sad to report that I tried on one size smaller and we couldn’t get the toggle in... sad face.

Neither me or my SA could get it on in 1 size smaller. I was so sad so I went with the original size I tried.

Same!!! The large toggle is just so stunning. I could get the smaller size on my wrist.

I tried mine on and it sits about the same place on my wrist but as you say a smaller size and you cannot get the toggle on.....I personally love it and will wear it with lots of other bracelets! Enjoy it!

That must be the correct size for you then. I’m glad you tried both.

Wow! What do u use to clean silver?

Hi!

In that case I sadly had to use Nevr Dull ( http://www.nevrdull.com/index.html ) because I forgot cleaning them sooner, when it was less bad.

I hate Nevr Dull with a passion because it has a strong odor that hangs onto your hands for at least 4 - 5 times hand washing cycles ... Per website its not available in California. I guess that has to do with the 1986 California Proposition 65.

I wrote about Nevr Dull and the Hagerty gloves I like much better here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...mes-be-high-maintenance.957713/#post-30965236

Hi!

Silver = cleaning. Those two are inseparably linked together ;) But fear not, there's help: http://www.hagertyusa.com/silver/products/silversmiths_gloves.htm

Stuff works like a charm!

Before I found them, I used stuff like Nevr Dull and other chemicals, and one could smell that even days after the treatment/cleaning indoors, except during summer when I could do it outside... It crawls under your nails and I often washed my hands 4 or 5 times after cleaning silver before the chemical stench was finally gone, then I tried surgical gloves - it helped but after some time the chemicals would still reach my hands - and since they were warm and sweaty now, they absorbed even more of it.

NEVER again since I got those gloves from hagerty. Sure it's not completely odorless but washing hands once and it's gone - no to almost no odor when using them indoors.

Silver is beautiful and maintenance got a lot easier with those gloves and product. :smile:

Kind regards,
Oliver

If it's not as bad as the pictured cufflinks, I stand by my recommendation of the Hagerty gloves. Much less fuss than the Nevr Dull stuff.

Kind regards,
Oliver
