I know, right??? My hubby seems to like the bigger look also. I was going to price this out at IDJ too. I think they were around 15 points but I might be getting confused! I know they were in the color range of F-H and SI clarity.

Good point about the rounded look with larger stones...
Depending on the size of your wrist you could get a shorter length of bracelet and larger stones. My bracelet is for daily wear, so I didn’t want the bracelet to drape into my palm. It’s 6.5 inches long and the stones are between 0.13-0.14 points for a total of 5.6+ carats. The Benjamin brothers setting makes the stones look slightly larger, so you really could get a similar look for less. I also went with IDJewelry and their pricescope quality diamonds which sparkle like mad increases it’s visual appearance.

Thank you - my wrist is a little larger than yours, I think the one I tried in the above pictures is 7 inches. I'm totally going to IDJ and telling them I want one just like yours, ha ha!! :wavey::love:
How long did it take them to make your bracelet, once you knew what you wanted? I ask because I have run out of "special occasions" this year, lol, and I think I have to buy it out of my year-end bonus. I hate waiting!!!

Hi @LLJsmom !
I’ve had this bracelet for a while. I wear it often (wearing it now), although I used to wear it a lot more. It’s definitely delicate, but strong for something that looks so dainty and easily breakable. It was shortened at VCA about an inch.

As far as how it is holding up, well, I’m a little disappointed. There are areas where the yellow gold is starting to show. I know that happens with WG 781961B6-68C8-4986-8C7E-584740747D29.jpeg , but I don’t think it should happen so quickly, especially to something so expensive. I would definitely hesitate to buy any more VCA pieces in white gold.

obssessed with your tennis bracelet the stone shape is gorgous

I ordered the bracelet with Tami in June 2016, I think it took about 3 weeks. I’m in the UK so this included international shipping and sorting out taxes. I think there may have been a holiday on their part too.

Thanks, heididdl! I’m obsessed with it too!
It’s so comfy and I’ve been wearing it nonstop.
Here’s some better pictures.

Thanks for the extra pictures! I know it was a gift, but would you mind sharing where it was purchased? The setting looks impeccable!!

It's amazing do you have a price scope thread on it I'd love to read the story.

@iluvcarats wow, that BEZEL makes my heart sing. My biggest regret for my TB is that I got a prong setting. The no-fuss affair that a bezel brings to your life is so worth it IMO.

My clasp is impossible to unhinge without help from my partner, so I only wear it selectively because I know that sleeping + prongs = bad news.

@LLJsmom how have you liked your 5.75 length? How big is your wrist? I am debating between 5.75 and 6 inch as have a really small wrist and forearm. 5.5 at the bony part and then slightly below on the fleshy part and it stays that way for awhile....a lot of bracelets end up near my elbow lol!

It's a bangle style and pretty expensive. It's from Graff.
I want it because it is so "me"- a mix of fun, whimsy & elegant. But idk if it's worthwhile.
But I didn't want to take it off in the store! It was so comfortable and perfect on me!
Sigh I'm so torn..... 09_Graffiti_Everyday2000x2000px.jpg
This is their photo of the bracelet not mine.
I forgot to take pictures when I was there last time.

I love this SO much - it truly is so unique and special. I would normally hesitate at saving up that much for one piece, but for something that cool - and, like you said, fun, whimsy and elegant - I think it's a perfect splurge. If you were saving that much up for a regular tennis bracelet, no, but this.....(also, let me know where you live so I can come borrow it from you! hahaha)

I am happy with the length. Still works. My wrist is 5 inches at the skinniest part and 5.25 at the bone. I would not want it any longer.

Thanks @RunningwithScissors ! I am completely infatuated with it, and wear it all the time. It’s just about 8 carats and it is 6”.
As for where I bought it, I’d rather not say because it is local, but I did see the same one, or almost the same on Mark Broumands site. Thanks again for your sweet compliments!

Here is my latest addition. Another 13 carat tennis bracelet. I won’t be wearing with my loves but I was too lazy to take them off when I picked up new tennis and wanted to try with my diamond bangle

Wow @Missie1 ! What a jaw dropper those bracelets are! Love the new tennis bracelet you picked! A+++++

Mine are much smaller. I wear mine with my love too.
I have a 6.3 ctw diamond bracelet I wear almost every day lately. 8C7A8C94-2715-40A8-863A-1CC436E12DC7.jpeg

its something about a love stacked with a diamond bracelet that just pops a daily stack.

Missie, I thinkI you should reconsider your decision not to wear your tennis bracelets together with your loves. That stack looks so hot, it's an absolute head turner. Go for it!

Coming from you I definitely now need to reconsider

This is my understated but sparkly Victorian style two-tone Diamond bracelet. I don’t take it off because if I do then I won’t ever wear it. That seems to be how it goes lately!

I can't tell you how much I LOVE this!

Thanks! It’s not the best photo. It’s only about 0.6ctw but I wanted something pretty and sparkly and fun but appropriate for everyday and to wear to work.

I love how it uses negative space to create interest, it's just perfect!
