This is a GORGEOUS bracelet. And when it comes to form and function it's impossible to beat fortwenty bucks. This is my second Sergio Lub bracelet, and ol' Serge has won me over as a customer for life.FYI, here are some benefits to wearing copper:Copper, when in contact with the skin, forms chelates with human sweat and is thus absorbed through the skin. Think of a bracelet as a time-release source of copper. - Dr. R. Walker, University of Newcastle, Australia.Copper chelates are more effective and less toxic than drugs being used to treat arthritis. - Dr. J. Sorenson, University of Arkansas, USA.Copper is an essential element for the enzyme that regenerates the cartilage lining our bones and to clean up the radicals destructive to human tissues. - Excerpt from the book: The Copper Bracelet and Arthritis by Dr. Helmar H. A. Dollwet, Professor of Biology, University of Akron, Ohio, USASergio Lub bracelets are handmade in America, and their quality is clearly evident as soon as you put yours on. Incidentally, once its on, you pretty much just KEEP it on.You keep it clean simply by wearing it in the shower. It becomes a part of you.Which isn't a bad deal once you realize how much better it will make you feel, and all the comments and complements this piece of jewelry will evoke.The only reason I gave this four out of five stars, is because it's not a magnetic bracelet. And that happens to be my own damn fault for not paying closer attention when I ordered it. However, once I put it on, I decided to keep it rather than upgrade to a magnetized model.In time, this will lose its lustrous, eye catching finish. When that happens, I'll just jump back here on Amazon and order an exciting new model - Sergio Lub has tons to choose from. I'll never be without one!I have always admired this style and I am happy to have it in a smaller size.
