I think I lost this bracelet in the subways of NYC during the week of my birthday. I felt like the Universe was telling me that I would lose more than this if I didn't keep an eye on my Jewishness (as an aspiring convert). So when I found it right away on line, I ordered a replacement immediately even though I thought I might actually have been mistaken about where I lost it. Anyway, there are no cons - the only thing it lacks is a space to engrave my name in case of future loss. It is beautiful, simple, stays shiny without much care (I wear it every day) and I recommend it as a lovely gift to yourself or someone else.
