I don’t understand the measurements. If the bracelet “is adjustable around 7 inches” what does that mean?
Most of my bracelets are adjustable, and will say so in the item listing. When I say a bracelet is adjustable “around 7 inches,” that means I’ve included some extension chain and that the clasp may be hooked on any link of that chain to make it looser or more snug for a wrist which is 7 inches in circumference.
