It’s the Bracelet…<\/h2>\n

\nBolo bracelets are a huge trend<\/strong> right now. Every jeweler across the country carries them.<\/p>\n

They’re HOT!<\/h2>\n

\nSizzling hot<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nAnd if you don’t know what a bolo style bracelet is, it’s like a tie-bow that texas rangers wear<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Only these Bolos are for your Wrist.<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s a cute bracelet with an adjustable pulley clasp<\/strong> that allows you to pull them open, and pull them closed.<\/p>\n

\nSee examples of bolo bracelets here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Problem is the Pulley<\/h2>\n

\nIt’s faulty and flimsy<\/strong>, and doesn’t always work.<\/p>\n

\nFor just yesterday I had a customer come back into the store with a bolo bracelet she just bought 4 weeks earlier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nWell this rubber stopper was coming through the hole<\/strong> and rendering the bracelet useless…<\/p>\n

Like so…<\/h2>\n

\n\"Bolo<\/p>\n

\n(That’s not the real bracelet, that’s a photoshopped image<\/strong>, but that’s exactly what it was doing. Coming out<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

And here’s the Sad Fact:<\/h2>\n

\nIt can’t be repaired!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYou can’t just push that rubber stopper back into the hole <\/strong>(using tweezers) and except it to work. It probably won’t<\/strong>. That’s because the stopper is now stretched<\/strong>, possibly torn<\/strong>, and certainly misaligned<\/strong>. The odds that you could somehow push it back in and make it work are slim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSo the only things we could do at this point are:<\/p>\n
