Show me your DBTY Bracelets...and tell me about them please

[Mayk]

What size stones?

How many stones?

Color & Clarity?

How often do you wear it?

I want one and I've looked at a bunch and asked for a couple of quotes... Wondering if anyone has what they think is the perfect size... Any secrets....or suggestions. I think I would like to wear it often... Can I wear it with my watch?

I have a DBTY bracelet from BGD however I suppolied the dimaonds (I recycled them from my old wedding band). The bracelet has four .10 pointers on it so a total weight of .40ct. You can read about my braclet and see pictures here:

Then I have a DBTY style bracelet that Daniel M made for me with a sapphire. The thread is listed here:

OVerall the BGD bracelet is of course superior to the Daniel M one, but the price is reflected in that. I was going to have WF make my bracelet but BGD was less expensive and I find Leslie and Brian a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them!

Thank you Sarahbear... very helpful..

Do you wear yours often? I am wondering if they are too dainty for everyday wear.... (not working in the yard.. )

Hi I had a kite set princess cut dbty at 9 points each, however, the culet was too exposed on my very sensitive wrist as I have a wrist/nerve condition. Anyways, I just turned my bracelet into a dbty necklace instead. I find me very obsessed with the flipping of the diamonds on the wrist, but for a necklace, I don't care, the flipping back and forth actually gives it more sparkly attention
I had 8 stones = .72 ctw on my bracelet, as I used all the stones I had from a ring I once had. its delicate and I didn't wear it as much.

ETA: if I had to do it again, I would do a different bezel where the depth of the metal would be the same as the pavilion depth of the diamond so the culet part wouldn't be exposed and dig into your skin as much (it sounds metal heavy from the side, but you could have piercing work done as well to it) not just bezel around the girdle of the diamond. I have a sample picture, but unfortunately its on another computer so I can't share what I mean right now.

I have a DBTY bracelet by BGD. I love it, but I don't wear it as often as I should. I wouldn't wear it with a watch as it is very delicate.

It has 9 round diamonds at .11 ct each. So it is .99tcw. White gold. When I received it, it was on 7 inches (it was a wedding gift from my husband). I have rather small wrists so I had it changed to 6.25, I believe. Now, it is just on the cusp of being too small.

I will try to take some picture of it today to post to this thread. For now, here are a couple (real life perspective) from our wedding day. This was before it was made smaller so it was either down on my hand or stuck on my forearm.
