diamond tennis bracelet - Jeweler or Whiteflash??

[Baby_bear111]

Hi all,
Im looking for a bracelet for my upcoming wedding and would love your advice on which I should get. One option is from a local dealer. It's 4ctw, 3 prong set with illusion diamond setting (which makes it appears bigger). It is in the I range and only average cut quality. But jeweler is willing to give it to me for a very good price. Or should I go with a smaller 3ctw, 3 prongs set, at Whiteflash which will cost more but I know is quality aca cut?

If anyone can post pictures of their white flash tennis bracelet beauties for reference, I would appreciate it!!

Personally, I think it's always better to choose quality over quantity.

Whiteflash all the way

Take a look at this thread--my WF bracelet can be seen here:

Whiteflash over the local jeweler.

Also, there are other PS tried and true vendors you can ask quotes from that tend to be more competitively priced than WF - IDJewelry, brilliantly engaged and David Klass.

What is a "very good" price?

 

[Baby_bear111]

4ctw for $3950 inclusive of taxes. There's no upgrade or return/exchange policy.

Clarity at the jeweler? You could call ID jewelry, too ask for pricescope quality stones. There's probably a tennis bracelet thread over on show me the bling. (I'm on my phone or I'd find/paste the link)

I am of the school that says, you get what you pay for. That price worries me. I would rather pay extra for the ACAs. Just me. When I was shopping around, the quality of stones for tennis bracelets was very apparent to me. Some bracelets were immediately stunning and beautiful, and they were priced accordingly. Since it would be a forever piece for me, I decided to invest.

Maybe this will help with choosing a tennis bracelet in general.

I don't have anything against a local jeweler. I got mine from a local jeweler cause I had some credit. But I was picky about my stones, and so I didn't get a "super deal". I felt like I paid a fair price. It was also 4 ctw, or 5 ctw, forgot. Almost 2x the price you quoted.

Hey OP
Have you contacted Lesley at BGD for their competitive tennis bracelet vs. WF?
I bought my wife's 3+ Ct bracelet from BGD.
Will try to find my post

Jeweler only has an IGI cert. Now I'm a bit concerned they may be clarity enhanced diamonds and that's why they're able to go even more on the price. I'll contact BGD and see on WF. Thank you
