I hear you. I had my small love bracelet mailed to me and it came with a hairline scratch, which bugged me for weeks because I felt that I got a bracelet with a scratch that wasn’t caused by me. I was debating exchanging but also didn’t want the hassle or getting myself nervous about what if the next bracelet has something else that bugged me. Then last week I happened to wear a sweater with buttons on the sleeve which put MANY MORE hairline scratches on the bracelet. I have to say I no longer get bothered by the one scratch that came with the bracelet to start with - because there are now too many to count

and I’m actually so glad I can be at peace with wearing my bracelet and truly enjoy it now! (And I still love my bracelet to pieces and think it looks as pretty as day one!) here’s my two cents: I think it will take time to get over that feeling but you will get there.

good luck with your decision!
