I was skeptical to buy one of the beaded bracelets. I have a lot of just the braided ones, and I like smaller lightweight styles. I also thought these might "jangle" a little, slide around because of the glass beads. This is not the case at all. The beads are tightly grouped together and fit onto the bracelets so they do not slide around. IT's actually incredibly unique, I've never seen another bracelet fit them like this, and they end up pairing perfectly either together or with a mix of the braided ones. The gray and black colorway on this does indeed bring to mind all the pictures of white sharks I've seen, and knowing that there's juts a little less plastic in the ocean because of it is an incredible feeling.
