3-5 ctw tennis bracelet in WG

[littleweight]

Hello everyone! Thanks to so many posters i was able to find my dw a beautiful 1.25 cushion AGL 0/0/0 back in late 2014 as an e-ring!

Im now looking for a 4-5 ctw tennis bracelet in time for xmas.

Anyone have recommendations on where i should be looking? Ive looked at costco online, WF, and BGD. If there are other retailers i should be looking at please do share!

I like clarity and color of WF and BGD over costco but its about 30% more expensive.

All help and recommendations are truly appreciated!!

Welcome back! Those are great vendors you listed; you might want to call BG and ask if tennis bracelets will be part of their 12 days of Christmas specials, just in case!

Two other vendors to check with would be IDJewelry and James Allen.

Good luck!

Hi there thank you for the quick response! Since all vendors will have the items is there a particular vendor you personally prefer as my best bang for buck.

Thanks for recommendation about BGD i will call them

If you have a local Costco it's easy to order online and return if you're not satisfied. IDJ has lovely tennis bracelets as well.

It depends on what you’re looking for in terms of diamond quality. If you want ideal cut (best of the best) diamonds, I’d probably use WF or HPD (high performance diamonds). If you want “PriceScope quality” diamonds, meaning very white, sparkly, and eye clean - but not ideal cut - then I’d use IDJ as they’re known for providing very good prices for the quality you get. There’s a thread on PriceScope called “show me your tennis bracelets” that will show you many styles and sizes, and many people share who they used for a vendor too.

FWIW, I just bought a tennis bracelet from them (IDJ) recently and love it. Mine is a custom bracelet because if they style I wanted, but here’s a photo to show you the quality of diamonds they use.


If you do call them, ask for Yekutiel and tell him you want PS quality diamonds.

Thank you i appreciate it! I will definitely get in touch with IDJ as well as prices seem much better.

Is there a certain % off i should aim for on their bracelets? Ill be looking in the 5k range. Thanks again for all your help!

Yekutiel will give you his best price right off the bat. No need to haggle. You could ask if there are any Christmas specials but other than that that’s the only discount you can expect. But don’t worry - they’re known for their very competitive prices!

Are you looking for MRB’s for your bracelet, or a different cut? Do you prefer newer cut diamonds, or antique/vintage?

I agree with @ILikeShiny: HPD or WF for ideal cut, high performing diamonds would be a great start.
DK, IDJ, and CvB are also great vendors. It all depends on your style, and what you’re looking for. VC and LM are more expensive, but they are excellent. They, too, may offer Christmas discounts...not sure.
Good luck! Please let us know if you need more info, and please keep us posted!!!

Gorgeous bracelet, it looks amazing with your holiday manicure, thanks for sharing all the photos. Is it naughty that I’m already planning my next bling project and I haven’t received my first one yet ?? Lol, I have got two wrists after all and I love layering pieces of jewelry

I really wanted one around the 5ctw and it’s pretty close at 4.95ctw, because my wrist is slim, a 6.5 inch bracelet fits me perfectly. If I had opted for the 7inch it would have brought me up to over 5ctw.
Its a 3 prong, IDJ call it the delicate model, which shows less metal, 45 F/G PSQ SI, 11 points each, excellent cut, bracelet in 14K white gold, with added safety chain.
I’m in Australia so I’ve been excitedly tracking it’s progress from US and it’s finally arrived at my local airport, I’m just waiting for delivery, hopefully today!

It’s finally here! I just love it, just what I wanted. A couple of photos to share. I’m not sure how to crop and post smaller photos, they all come out huge, so apologies for the humongous pics.
@littleweight I hope you find something before Christmas, please share if you do.

Oh wow!!! Where did you say you got it from? I'm looking at some WF bracelets but yours is absolutely stunning!

Thank you, I can’t stop looking at it, the sparkles catch my eye at every angle.
My bracelet is from ID Jewelry, I bought it online, sight unseen but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I also looked at WF, but I would have paid more and for smaller stones. It’s a personal choice but as the diamonds are small I chose not to pay the premium for ACA diamonds this time, I think they are gorgeous, white and sparkly.

Gorgeous bracelet!

Recieved my beautiful 5.85 44 diamond PSQ .13 pointer bracelet today. Absolutely stunning. Our local Ben bridge had a similar albeit 6.5 ctw .17 pointers for $23k!

Pics below, I’ll add wrist shots after giving to my wife

It’s gorgeous! Your wife is going to love it. Thanks for sharing the photos, I can see a few fire shots off those sparkly stones. I was going to post photos of the bracelet in the box, but I couldn’t wait to put it on my wrist...lol
Post some wrist shots if your wife doesn’t mind, love to see them.

The sparkle is still really hard to grasp on camera. Bracelet looks amazing in natural light
