Hello all,

Helping a friend shop for a diamond tennis bracelet. Looking for a recommendation for a vendor for one, ideally ready-to-ship or about a week lead time. I was going to check with IDJ for availability on a 3ct white gold. Budget is $3k.

Many thanks!

I heard Costco actually has pretty good quality jewelry. Don't have a piece from them myself though.

Check out Whiteflash - not sure about their prices for a three carat - gorgeous diamonds though!

people have been very happy in general with their Costco purchases. WF would be great, but I'm not seeing anything that is ready to ship in your price range. Same with Blue Nile for 3 ct. Costco has a good return policy so with your budget and timeline, I'd try them and also check IDJ and see if they can accommodate you.

My two tennis bracelets are from James Allen. they are lab diamonds but the quality is excellent and the setting is nicely done.

I recommend Whiteflash or IDJ. Whiteflash can do custom pieces, so they might be able to make you a custom bracelet that fits your budget if you call them or send them an email

I do as well and like it a lot. It was a god value for the price. I don’t own a Costco piece but I have heard similar reviews!

I have a 3ctw bracelet from IDJ, highly recommended!

May I ask approximately how much your 3ct bracelet from IDJ was and if it was lab or natural? Also did you ask for PS quality stones and if so, did you have to pay extra for them?

I asked for PS stones, but I'm not sure if they charged extra, but if they did it was minimal, when comparing the prices on their website. I purchased it about 11 years ago and it was a bit under $2000AUD from memory. The diamonds are mined.

Diamonds here in Australia are terribly expensive, and to this day, I very happily wear my bracelet and feel a hint of smugness when I look into jewellers' windows and see bracelets with the same specs as mine, for about 4 times the price I paid :bigsmile:

OMG your comment made me laugh :lol: I am also in Australia and since owning my first ACA I feel like I am carrying the worlds best kept secret. I feel that it's my duty to tell everyone I meet that my diamond was such a bargain considering how much better it is than all the ones I see for sale here. So far I've been able to control myself but then again I haven't been out much lately either.

I had not heard of IDJ so will be checking them out as well because all this talk of tennis bracelets has me thinking I need one too!

Deejay on eBay has been mentioned/recommended before for tennis bracelets.
