My tennis bracelet was copied from the Tiffany one. I don't have a photo of mine but it's very similar to Tiffany's. It's some 4plus carats (G, VS quality) excluding the 4 pieces of marquis which are around 10 points each. And mine certainly did not cost $15,000![]()

I love the one that noobie just bought for his wife for mother's day. It was from white Flash. Did you see that one?? I love how the stones are set very pretty IMHO.

I didn't find any on your website... I am thinking... Frech cut squares, especially if the material is a bit dark to start with. ![]() Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian] |

Valeria!!!! I'm in love with that French cut sapphire bracelet! Is it an antique? Where did you find it?Maxine...have you considered looking at antique Deco diamond bracelets? They're something different from standard tennis bracelets, and can be quite elegant yet understated... widget

They say it was a vintage piece... it does not look that old to me. The French cut has been done all the time and is "in" right now - you could have fresh ones as well.

I love the look of antique vintage/deco bracelets. I don't wear bracelets, but if I did that would be my choice. They just have that certain something that other bracelets don't have.

Hi Ana - yes we do try and supply matched stones, our smaller stones are on this page but usually customers for this product will email and discuss their requirements. Matching natural sapphire exactly is very difficult and for a bracelet like the french square you posted, synthetic sapphire would have a edge over our natural stone (worst luck!). To supply enough matched natural gems for a bracelet like that would require a huge stock to sort through. I like to split the stone rather than match them exactly. eg blue sapphire/ bicolour sapphire/blue sapphire. By breaking the link with another shade our colour can look even better in my opinion. You could also add in Aquamarine-Sapphire-Diamond for example. I also like the idea of using totally different colours (eg. spessartite, amethyst,etc) in the mix too - the possibilities are endless. Our small sapphire is ideal for this type of use as it is very even and is a great rich (not too light, not too dark) colour. The other fact that shoudnt be overlooked is that even a gem like sapphire is quite affordable in the smaller sizes (under 4mm) simply due to supply and demand. The world simply produces a lot of this smaller gem - as the size goes up prices rise steeply. Just for example a 3.5mm round brilliant cut sapphire sells for around $10 US each - the equivalent size in diamond is much more expensive. Not that price should be the only consideration but I think using a mix makes the whole thing come alive. Here is a picture of a bracelet we found on the net that gives an idea of the concept - not sure where to get it - we just saved the picture a while back when looking around for design ideas. cheers Andrew Lane www.aussiesapphire.com.au ![]()
