Use a clear silicone ring or micro jewelry clip for people who want an invisible adjustment method.
Buy a clear silicone ring (similar to the material of a ring adjustment ring) and fix it to some links of the bracelet so that it will not fully expand and reduce the overall length.
You can also use a micro jewelry clip to slightly clamp the bracelet at a certain point so that the excess part forms a fixed fold without affecting the overall appearance.
Advantages: invisible adjustment, low cost, and does not damage the VCA vintage alhambra bracelet.
Disadvantages: Need to check the ring or clip regularly to see if it is loose, and it may take several attempts to find the right position.
If you want the bracelet to remain the same but fit better, you can try the stacking method or silicone ring fixation method; if you care more about wearing comfort, you can consider changing the clasp or fine-tuning the clasp position. These methods will not affect the value and original status of the bracelet, and are more flexible.
