H&M Bangles (Tiny)

I am so excited to share with you my latest find at H&M. It was kind of a fluke that I found these tiny bangles because I was just about to leave and thought I would do one last round.  I usually make 2-3 rounds because I always find something different that I didn't see the first time.  I was perusing the accessories section and didn't see anything I liked but then as I was walking away, at the very bottom were these bangles hanging w/no tag. I picked them up and they were so small- I couldn't believe my eyes! Of course there was no tag so I looked around and found what looked like the tag but it said $3.95.  I thought there was no way it was that cheap for the entire set - even for H&M.  I tried to find another set but with no luck. I decided to head over to the little girl's section thinking- maybe it's possible that it's from the girl's department? It had to be since they are the smallest bangles I have ever seen that are not custom made.

I walked over to the girl's accessories department and scoured the entire area and couldn't find another set. I did however find a similar set w/different colors that had the same price tag but they were much too childish. It was confirmed that indeed it was from the girls section. I found an SA and asked for her to help me find a 2nd set of bangles because I knew I wanted 6 gold ones and there are only 3 in each set. She was super sweet and helped me dig and dig until we were both sweating.  I figured I will just buy the one set and look for a 2nd set at a different location. As I was standing in line, the same SA came up to me holding a 2nd set. I must have screamed so loud that people thought I was insane.  I was so happy. It was a good day!

Diameter is 2 1/8" (even smaller than a size 2 1/4")

If you don't know if these will fit you, as a reference my wrists measures right under 5 1/4" and from knuckle to knuckle is 2 1/4". Use Kelly's oldie but goodie post here to measure what size bangles will work for you. 

The only downside to these is obviously the quality. I can see where the ends were soldered together and I'm not sure how long they will last before either they break or the gold/silver tone will wear off. For the price tag of $3.95 and how perfectly they fit- I think I'll chance it! I'm already wearing them : )
