    Do you think any links can be taken out of this bracelet?  I found it on overstock.com and I LOVE it.  I have TINY wrists though and it's an 8 inch bracelet.

    Any thoughts?

    It's really hard to see the small links.  I'm so use to adjusting my bracelets to, just like you my wrists are tiny too.

    If you got rid of one section, do you think it would be too small?  Because I think the only way you could do this is if you took out the second to the last section (the oval thing) and then replace it with the last oval with the connectors on it.  Did that make any sense at all?

    I don't see why not, I would just make sure to take it to a reputable and good jeweler that can do that for you.  Because of the design, you would have to be careful about making sure it flows and looks right. Lovely!!

    @Wendy- I was thinking the same thing, in regards to how to make it smaller. I'm also not sure if taking out a whole section would make it too small. I guess I probably need to know how long a section is. I might read up on the overstock.com policy and return it if necessary.

    I don't think you would have to take out a whole section, you could take out a part and then make sure what you do to one side, you can do to the other.

    I agree with the ladies. You may not need to take out an entire section just a few links. When you take it to the jeweler ask that they try and make the bracelet balanced. They will need to measure the links to see exactly how many they need to remove. When I make bracelets I take the link measurements into consideration for the size I need and ensure the bracelet looks even.

    Good luck! If you have any questions feel free to mesage me!
