It’s my first time buying a bracelet with this type of closure, should these bracelets be a tight fit or loose?
I purchased mine in store so my SA helped size me. It can't be too tight that you can't get the toggle clasped but you don't want it too lose where the toggle could push and come undone. I can take a pic of mine to show you.
 
here's a pic! I can fit the width of one finger between my wrist and the toggle if that makes sense. I def have movement but it's not super loose.View attachment 6076524
So I purchased it in store today! I tried on both SH and ST, SH was perfect once put on, but was a bit difficult/painful to put on. ST was easier to put on, I could fit 2 fingers in the toggle/wrist area though, but decided to go with ST. Just hoping it doesn’t fall off since it’s a tiny bit big.

Just one question- do you get a silver certificate when purchasing in store? I ordered once online and it came with a certificate, but not in store today. Is that normal?

Thanks!

I've never received a certificate with any of my fine jewelry. Only booklets with my watches.

This is the ST Farandole bracelet on me, I feel like it is a bit big on me, but the SH size I wasn’t able to put on myself and even when my SA put it on me it hurt a little bit when closing/clasping it. My main concern is that it will fall off when wearing because it is a bit big. Has anyone experienced any stretching with their silver bracelets?

Could I get some more thoughts on how it looks/fit please? Is there usually this much extra length and does it usually fall that far down the arm?

I just checked, my silver item from online came with a “diamonds and precious metals certificate” in an envelope with serial number written on it. Do they typically not include this when purchasing silver in store?
I have a few silver pieces that I got from a store and never was offered a certificate. Not sure if that may be region-specific. I'm in North America.

Oh I’m in North America as well, maybe I’ll ask about it next time then.
Yes, it does, however, they sometimes run out of it. Ask your SA and they should give you one if needed.
Thanks! I’ll ask next time!
