A couple of weeks ago I teased on Instagram that I might buy this bracelet and I went ahead and took the plunge! Once again this is a retired item from Waxing Poetic and it’s very hard to get. I bought it through eBay which again is very risky and because of it I ended up getting slightly burned!

I think this bracelet retailed for either $66 or $75, it’s very hard for me to get an accurate price since it’s been retired and I got it for about half that. The reason I say I got burned is because the seller stated the bracelet was new without tags, and when I received it, it was obvious it had been worn for awhile. However it didn’t bother me since this bracelet is a bit rare and hard to come by, so I didn’t mind that it was worn. This is a warning for all of you, be wary of buying  brand name items on eBay, you never know what you can get.

This item from Waxing Poetic is made entirely out of brass and measures 7.75 inches in length. It was a nice surprise to see that the chain strands were not loose like the other Waxing Poetic Square Insignia bracelet I obtained. This was a possible deterrent as to why I was thinking of not buying it, it was way too similar to the other bracelet I just mentioned. Apparently it has several rows of rings that are soldered together to prevent this from happening, I tried to illustrate this point with a photo:

 

Now I understand why on some photos I would see a charm clip attached to it, I thought it strange that someone would do that, in my mind I figured they would all get bunched up together, now I get it! I don’t know if I’ll do that, if I do it might just be with one charm clip and maybe one very large charm or several large charms, not sure yet. It is rather plain on it’s own.

 

Here are one of the gaps where you could insert a charm clip.

 

I like how secure this clasp is too, I believe it’s called an open box clasp and I like how it has the security latch as well. The only thing I don’t love about this bracelet is that since it’s made out of brass, it was a metallic smell to it that silver doesn’t have.

 

Overall I’m pleased with my purchase, if I decide to add a charm clip to it, I might do another What I’m Wearing, it would be my first repeat on a jewelry piece 😉 Until next time Happy Hunting!
