After years of looking at tennis bracelets, this is my year to get one! It was going to be a Christmas present but, since it was finished now and we have three big Christmas parties this weekend, SO said I could have it early :appl:

For the design: I struggled with this part the most. I knew I wanted a bezel-set bracelet (due to snagging/scratching concerns) and a clasp that was integrated into the design (very important to me that the bracelet looked continuous). I plan to wear it 24/7 so I also wanted something that could be dressy or casual. The PS community was awesome again and I was able to find some inspiration that led me to my final design. I decided on .13 diamonds, 7” in length, and the mountings made deep enough so that the culets wouldn’t scratch my arm. Once I had my ducks in a row I reached out to Yekutiel at IDJ and let him take it from there. We ended up using his overseas bench for this for a couple of reasons and I’m thrilled with the results. As always, Yekutiel was awesome to work with and delivered a fabulous product!

Now, on to photos! :kiss2:

I wear my watch on my right wrist, but this gives a perspective view on the size.

Love your bracelet! Exactly the style I would want, if I were to get one. I have thought about it quite a bit, but no plans to purchase. The clasp is so unique. What a great piece! Hope you love wearing it!

Thanks everyone! I'm really loving it and can't wait to wear it to my first party in a couple of hours :mrgreen2:

@MakingTheGrade - Yes, it flips CONSTANTLY! At first I thought it might bother me but I'm getting used to it. We are going to thin the bezels on the bottom though and maybe give them a beveled edge like it is on the top so it won't be as noticeable when it's upside down.

@Bonfire - I'm not going to do a SMTB on my ring because that joy is gone for me, but I don't mind sharing a pic with you here. I had my nails done yesterday for the parties and I adore how the bracelet, ring, and glittery nails all look together :geek2:

Gorgeous! Did I read that correctly they are 13 pointer diamonds? They looks much larger!
