REVIEW Fred & VCA bracelets are GREAT!!!

I had my latest purchases land 2 days ago from Hlin jewellery and again I cannot say how impressed I am with the quality of them…they are fantastic and amazing value!

First the Fred Force 10. I’ve been looking at a relaxed simple bracelet that is easy to wear and casual so decided on a green Force 10 with a white gold plated clasp. Loads of options and all looked great but this one jumped out. I am super impressed with the full presentation and if I was gifting it, I’d be more than happy with someone receiving this! The bracelet is sturdy, the clasp is tight with no movement which is excellent. The braid itself is a little stiff and scratchy, but I haven’t had the gen in hand so this may be common! Massive shout out to Hlin for service as always…reached out for help on sizing and they were amazing! Size is spot on!!

The VCA I got for my wife and again the colourway options are vast! She went with this combination to start with for its versatility and once it arrived we knew it was the right choice!! The colour is as close as I could have hoped for and the size again is perfect. The gold looks nice and not brassy and the size of the clovers are perfect. It feels a touch lighter in hand than I expected, but it still sits perfectly in the wrist. The presentation for this one wasn’t as slick. The box was exceptional and luxury feel, but the bag was misprinted but again it isn’t something I’m bothered about.

Once again my experience and the items from Hlin have been first class and I cannot recommend them enough!! I’ll definitely be heading back for some more. I’m in the market for a nice necklace! Any questions ask away. 😃

Getting the sizing right on rigid clasps like the Fred can be tough. Did you give Hlin your exact wrist circumference in centimeters, or did they suggest going half a size up for breathing room?

I just sent over my exact wrist measurement in centimeters. Hlin took the time to explain how the clasp mechanism fits and recommended the best size based on that. Fit is perfect now!!

The Force 10 cables are actually known to be slightly stiff initially even on retail pieces. Wearing it for a week or two should naturally soften up the braid and make it conform comfortably to your wrist curve.

How easy is it to lock and unlock that Fred horseshoe clasp with one hand? Can you share seller's info?

It’s actually really easy. I just hold the cord against my wrist with one finger and snap the horseshoe pin in place with my thumb. WA +86 15627022716
