Perfect for belly dancing or Zumba party! Silky soft on your wrists and the coins dangle just the right length - no problems holding Zumba toning maracas or with clapping.

I get compliments on this in my Zumba class. I purchased them at a GOOD price and will have to order in different colors!

I ordered these directly from Onbene.com, in four of the choices (Orange, White, Black & Lake Blue), and having received them today I am very pleased. I am basing the measurements of this review off of my orange pair, while all else is generalities of the four pairs. Each pair came wrapped in a simple plastic bag with adhesive on a flap and a label indicating the style & colour, my shipment came within an over-sized priority USPS envelope -> The clothThe cloth part of the armlets is simple, but seemingly sturdy in the stitching to me (there is one visible, horizontal seam that occurs near the mid of each armlet, the thread matches the cloth perfectly and is of no issue personally, also one end of each armlet has a finishing that puts a slight, about 1/8 inch, fringe and defining a top and bottom. Simply something to double check matches when you have two or more on), and as promised the cloth will stretch to fit a larger arm/ larger areas of one's arm (or leg perhaps). Unstretched the armlets measure about 7 1/2 - 7 3/4 inches around, and 1 3/8 inches from the top to bottom. While vertically the cloth does not stretch, I can comfortably wear the armlets stretched to 9inches around on my upper arm, however the furthest I'm able to stretch an armlet is about 9 7/8 inches . . with my circulation being partially cut off and two loose thread then becoming more apparent, though the stitching was not compromised, nor the cloth torn. Once stretched, these armlets do not conform back to their original circumference. The armlets I stretched to nearly the top of my arm is now 7 7/8 inches around when not worn, noticeably stretched out a bit after one wear for five minutes tops. When worn, the stretched band still matches it's counterpart well and I still believe the two of them gorgeous together around my wrists or higher on my arms.-> The coinsIndeed sporting a golden colour, these coins are modest in the shade and appear silver or bronze in some lighting. Quite reflective though. Along the top and bottom of each armlet, (hanging off of a thick thread as seen in the image) there are 9 coins. 18 per each armlet (One side of an armlet had 10 coins, I believe this to have been a fluke) These are not the coins that I typically see in import shops on anklets, belly dancing outfits, necklaces, etc. They seem to have six stars near the edges, indented. Somewhere along the stars is an indent that resembles the outer of a seed bead, about the same size as each five-pointed star. The image consuming the majority of the space in each coin resembles a Trojan warrior, again indented.There is a spherical bead, matching the colour of the coins, right before each coin, with both (the coins and beads) hanging on the thick thread.-> The coloursThe colours are opaque, and a bit vibrant. The pictures do them justice and are not deceiving. The colour remains constant in the thread, cloth, and the thicker thread that the coins and beads hang from.-> Great for smaller frames, as well as more common onesFinally, I am small boned, unusually so and when unstretched, these armlets fit my wrists only slightly in a loose manner, they are light and thick enough to not even threaten falling from my wrists, how I lost my last metal bracelet that was fit for belly-dancing. To me, they fit like a thicker, most stable bangle, unless I wear the armlets higher up, when they are still quite comfortable up to my mid arm. As I noted, it is only beyond 9 inches that these become tight enough to be a hazard and a poor choice for one physically.In short, these armlets have nice colouring true to pictures(, stretch comfortably to about 9inches (7 1/2-8inches unstretched for circumference, from top to bottom about 1 3/8 inches. these do not vertically stretch), come two armlets to a purchase, seem well made, have quite reflective coins, are comfortable to wear unless stretched beyond 9 inches and are simply beautiful to wear for whatever use you have in mind. I would certainly recommend these, especially at the price. Even with shippingI hope that this helped you, thank you.

I bought one pair for me and they fit me just right. I also bought another pair for my sister and one fits perfect and the other fits a bit to big.

I really enjoy my belly dancing costume pieces. As I lose weight I reward myself with a new high-quality piece. So much fun to jingle when the dancers jingle!

These come in pairs and have lots of coins. The material seems well put together and they look great with my choli top. I would not say that one size fits all, if you very small wrists or large wrists they might not fit correctly. You get two for four bucks +shipping. I think thats a great deal personally. I've seen these priced at ten dollars or more at stores in my area.

I love these! I will probably go back and buy every color, so I'll always have something to match any costume. I have a lot of trouble making my hands look right while dancing (bit of an "eagle claw" syndrome) and having something this pretty on my wrists somehow makes my hands work right; I focus more on moving my wrists so the coins jangle nicely than jerking my hands back and forth like I'm trying to high-five everybody. I also find the extra jingling useful; listening for the coins on my costume to see if they're clanking on the beat is one way I keep track of whether or not I'm moving correctly, but sometimes I end up in a costume that just doesn't have that many coins on it. I can slip a matching pair of these on my wrists or my ankles, and I get the auditory feedback I need without disrupting my costume.

I liked this item, it comes in many colors to match just about every costume. Very cheap and worked well as an armband, on the wrist or an anklet (if your able). Cute addition to any number.

Other than being a little large for my very petite fianc' the piece was just what we expected. For the price I can't say enough!!

They are very cute. I just got them in black, and I love them. They are slightly too large for my wrists (I am kind of scrawny, though, so I expected that) but they work fine as armbands or wrist cuffs. I didn't get them for bellydancing, really, just because I like the accessories of it. I have no idea about the durability of them yet, and it does seem as though the coins could come off easily if one is lax in their care, but they seem fairly secure for general use. As long as you don't try to pull at them too much (with too much rubbing against other things or whatever). The coins themselves are very thin but bear up well against my attempts to manipulate them. They seem pretty strong. All in all, they are pretty, the coins are spaced well so as to allow for maximum jingles, and the photos seem very accurate, aside from one thing. In the photos, there are two bobbles before each coin; in reality, for mine, there is but one. I care not and enjoy the product thoroughly. They were a present, and the giver shall receive many a hug! :)
