The fish and lotus design got my attention online, because it was a little unique compared to many Buddhist inspired pieces. Once the package arrived, I was surprised at how substantially heavy it is compared to similar bracelets. As a teacher, I only wear pieces to work that can stand up to substantial everyday wear-- I could definitely wear this at work or I could save for special occasions. Although it is adjustable, it is very solid (and takes a bit of pressure to adjust it). This means it will hold shape well over time, and will not bend or fall off once adjusted. Feels like silver, without having to spend a fortune. Thank you Dharma Shop and artisans for putting such care into the craftsmanship and selection of pieces like this one! Will buy more jewelry in future!
