good size for tennis bracelet (everyday wear)?

[vslover]

Hi all. I''m a SAHM and am turning 30 in July...looking for a tennis bracelet to ask DH for. lol. I''m wondering what size is a good everyday look. I almost never dress up... My e-ring is 1.78 ct and I wear 2 pairs of studs (1.26 ctw and 1.06 ctw) every day. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I''d say 2 cts. You can dress it up or down. If I ever got one, that''s what I would get.

(pretty much the same as you)

2-3 carats would definitely be appropriate for everyday wear and still be blingy enough.

I have a 2 ct. and wear it about every day. I think 3 ct. would be nice as well.

HI:

I am in the 2-3 carat ctw. opinion. Well cut stones, and it wil look like a million bucks anyway.

Would you consider a bangle? Methinks it may be more durable for daily activities - no snagging, easier to put on and off.

I saw Chargrgrl''s bangle from WF at the LA GTG and it was very pretty (needless to say, I was sold on a bangle

). If I remember correctly, hers was the shared prong version.

i had 4 cts for everyday wear, im also a sahm, i thought it was too much. id go 2-3, something really well cut is going to be great not matter what. i got the WF 1ct bangle for everyday and like it a lot better than my 4 ct, its the pefect size for me. i dont wear it everyday with 2 kids, but its appropriate for everyday.

I wear a 3ct everyday. (it''s posted here) My Mom wears a 7ct on a daily basis... I guess it depends on what is good for your lifestyle, and age. I wouldn''t have a problem with hers for myself, but it''s much more delicate than mine. I love mine bc it''s pretty but it doesn''t stand out too much so I can wear it boating, running, etc... I actually never take it off!

Hi,

I''m a SAHM mom as well and tried on a 2-ct bracelet and it looked perfect for daily wear and excellent when matched up with a pair of jeans and a nice sweater.
