You could buy just 1 clip and wear it like that. I think that would look nice. I bought a lobster clasp bracelet to wear everyday, I even shower with it and everything, it never comes off. BUT, the little dangle on the lock broke off after a while, about 3 weeks I think. Then later I noticed that one of the threads slides around. SO, I would not wear just one bead with the gold cause that is way expensive and I would not take any chance on ruining it.
If you just wear it sometimes and with no other bracelet I think it would be ok, but it is better to use a clip as the single bead you will wear, so that it doesn't pass over the thread all the time and bang on it too much. Just my thoughts though...
