Everyday diamond bracelet

jewelrylover Rough Rock Total Posts: 57 Last Post: 8/11/2006 Member Since: 5/25/2006	What do you think is a good size style to wear for everyday wear with shorts, jeans or whatever(I don't work so don't dress up much.) I am looking at these two styles: Whiteflash shared prong bangle 4 prong tennis bracelet(from Whiteflash or somewhere else) I think I would want to go smaller tcw on the bangle than the tennis due to the stones being larger on the bangle. Any suggestions for tcw for everyday?

It is in the style of a "full eternity" ring/prong set and I wear it everyday. In fact I think I may have another made and double my pleasure!! Good luck! cheers--Sharon "People who possess great qualities, do not need to show off".

Sundial Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,590 Last Post: 7/14/2009 Member Since: 3/14/2005	This is a picture of my 3 carat shared prong bangle from Whiteflash. I absolutely love it and it is pretty blingly. I am older and can get away with wearing it everyday, but you might want to choose a smaller carat weight if you decide on this bracelet for casual wear. Of course I love Sharon's bracelet, the other WF bangle, and the tennis bracelets too!

jewelrylover Rough Rock Total Posts: 57 Last Post: 8/11/2006 Member Since: 5/25/2006	It is funny that you mentioned the bangle with the solitaire from White Flash. My parents offered some diamonds that they are not using in any setting for my mom. They are checking their inventory and will probably pass some on to my SIL and me. The bigger ones and investment grade are in jewelry, but he is checking on some around 30-35 pts. How would 3 look in a bangle? Woulld they be too small for only using 3? I might be better off with the shared prong bracelet or tennis style and not use the diamonds from my parents.

green sparkle Rough Rock Total Posts: 11 Last Post: 5/31/2006 Member Since: 2/18/2006	I have a 4 carat channel set bangle (oval in shape) that I wear almost every day with everything from jeans and a polo shirt (like I did last night to the Dave Matthews concert) to my perfect "little black dress" for special occasions. I find it to be very versitile. I also have a 2 carat traditional tennis bracelet that I wear from time to time but don't like nearly as much as my bangle. Although I loved the one that had the single diamond.

Apsara Cut Rock Total Posts: 179 Last Post: 10/4/2009 Member Since: 5/31/2006	Channel-set tennis bracelets are very sleek and can be modern & fresh, yet still classic. I have a 6+ carat channel-set tennis bracelet and I wear it with everything. The best advice is to go tot a local jeweler and try on a varitey of bracelets to see what style best suits you. __________________________________________________________________________________________ "Where there is Love, there is Life."

Is it bezel or tension? It's not bezel set on the sides because they are exposed...not sure if it's tension set OR a half bezel. The two exposed girdle edges do not have any protection. However, I asked WF about it and they said basically not to worry, because it's pretty darn hard to knock that stone around while wearing it on your wrist, unless you were punching brick walls at an ANGLE or something...so I thought...EH that's true...haha and if that was the case, I bet I wouldn't be worrying about the STONE in my bangle if my hand was all mangled!! I am totally getting that solitaire bangle this year...it's just a matter of WHEN. I was thinking maybe 2ctw tennis bracelet or the shared prong bangle but that solitaire just stole my heart the minute I put it on my wrist. Oh it's important to note that the bracelet is an oval and it's a tighter fit...meaning that it can catch on your wrist bones depending on the size of your wrist. The one thing I don't love about it is the big clasp, it's a little chunky and to me it doesn't really 'go' with the streamlined look of the smooth metal. You can kind of see it off to the left of the image there on my hand. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Lynn B Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,142 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 5/9/2004	I adore that plain bangle because it is so understated. I am a jeans and flip-flops girl and I think it would look DIVINE with anything. I have thought about tennis bracelets and such, but honestly, although they ARE gorgeous, they just never truly "grabbed" me. But THIS one... swoon! I love how it is a tighter fit... nothing to hang down/get caught/etc. When I was a teenager I had a small, plain, oval silver wrist bracelet that I wore ALL the time and positively ADORED. This one reminds me of that... only a more "mature" version... with BLING! And THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!

jewelrylover Rough Rock Total Posts: 57 Last Post: 8/11/2006 Member Since: 5/25/2006	Do you think the solitiare bracelet would work with 3 smaller diamonds say .33-.35 ct instead of the one .50 ct? Or do you think it is best as it is? Not that it matters, but I just had my e ring redo(can't get good pics). It is a 1.03 ct princess cut in a halo with pave all over the ring, shank etc. Would any bracelet go with any ring? My ring has kind of antique look and this bracelet has a sleek modern look.

coda72 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,096 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 3/1/2005	I'm not fond of the solitaire bangle, but that's just my opinion. I also don't think it would look better with 3 diamonds rather than one. It would probably have to be custom made with the 3 diamond settings which could get pretty expensive. If I were you, I would go with a shared prong bangle or a 3 prong or 4 prong tennis bracelet. To me, these two bracelets go with everything, even your antique looking e-ring.

I think the bracelet probably looks "best" as is... with one single sparkler. BUT, I do think 3 smaller stones could be lovely, too. That would probably be a custom job, though, and might get pretty expensive. Just a thought. Also, I do think that it might not be the best choice for wearing with a very vintage/antique look ring. I think to a certain degree matching the "styles" of our jewelry looks the best. I think you can go overboard with this (and make yourself half crazy in the meantime!) ... but I personally don't prefer the look of say, a delicate, vintage, antique style e-ring and a thick, chunky, square (very modern) RHR. So maybe in your case, a more tennis-style bracelet might compliment your e-ring best. Just my humble 2 cents! Keep us posted! And THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!

Sundial Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,590 Last Post: 7/14/2009 Member Since: 3/14/2005	Jewlerylover have you seen this three stone bangle from Blue Nile? If you decide to go with the WF shared prong bangle (my choice of course) I would suggest either the 1.5 carat or the 2.5 carat one. There is a big price jump from 1.5 to 2.0 carats, but the 2.5 carat is not much more than the 2.0 carat.
