The very first time I wore this, one of the strings broke when I put it on. I reordered because I liked it so much. The second time around I did not try to put it over my hand like a bracelet. I attached only one side, put it on my wrist, then attached the other end. It is a little more difficult to do it this way, but I've been wearing it for a few weeks now without it breaking. It is really pretty and fun to have something more bracelet-like to wear with work clothes.As soon as I tried to put this on, it broke.Very easy to install I love itThis band is very cute and can be worn casually or when dressing up.It stretches so can probably fit most wrists.It is very comfortable.
