Tennis bracelet: anyone have a setting with four prongs but with a bit of space between?

[Jjab]

Does anyone have a four prong tennis bracelet that has a bit of space between the diamonds, so they have a more rounded shape? I don't love the look of three prong settings (the lack of symmetry in the prongs bothers me a bit) but I do like that they allow for a bit of separation and roundness of the diamonds.

I think there was a thread recently and someone posted a tennis bracelet like you described

This bracelet is from Benjamin and Company. I think it is my favorite four prong tennis bracelet. Hopefully, you can enlarge the picture to show detail.

Thank you @MissGotRocks! Your bracelet is beautiful and exactly what I'm looking for. Could you let me know what the name of the setting is?

Oh, it's not mine! I just posted a picture that I have saved. It is the Classic Four Prong Diamond Tennis bracelet at www.benjamincompany.com. I think IDJewelry procured this setting for someone years ago and set the diamonds. Apparently, they don't do that anymore. It is a shame because this style of bracelet apparently appeals to lots of folks! You can buy the bracelet as a finished piece as well from the website.

I chose my setting for the same reason! I wanted 4 prong with space between. 15pt stones. 4

@smiley12345 - beautiful! Where did you get yours from?

It is pretty - I too would love to know where you bought it!

I am looking for the same style of bracelet too, I much prefer the rounded look.

Kinda makes it look a bit bigger

Sorry for the delay in reply! The bracelet was a custom piece from my long time local jeweler. Happy message their store privately if that is an option? I am making a visit soon and will also ask the jeweler where the setting is from. Here’s a couple more pics so you can see the setting if that helps. i think the side view looks bulky in pics but it’s very delicate IRL.
Agree, the space between makes the stones look bigger for sure. I was asked recently if it was 12 carats it is half that.. f/g vs 15pt stones

Thanks for your reply! Would love to know the supplier of the bracelet and feel free to post a website for the jewelry store! One additional question - was the issue of the cut of each diamond discussed? Were they ideal cut diamonds or hearts and arrows diamonds?

 

[smiley12345]

I will ask the supplier and report back!!

We did discuss cut and this is “excellent” cut. It is not considered hearts and arrows. Personal opinion only, but at this stone size I did not think that was necessary. The bracelet is a show stopper and sparkles like crazy - it gets complimented all the time (maybe too much attention, TBH!). I did consider Whiteflash / BG but ultimately decided I didn’t need h&a for this piece .. the price difference was significant too.

Thank you @smiley12345 !!! Would love to know the supplier. Your bracelet is so lovely.

I have been in contact with WF and they are pricing up some bracelets for me with the rounded style.

I have been searching for tennis bracelet mountings for ages! I've found about 3 sites, maybe 4. But until you see it in person, you don't know if it's heavy or too thin.
Certainly a struggle. I have an old bracelet that needs resetting. The diamonds are about.25pt if I remember, I have a very small wrist and it's around 9 cts. Love the look of a classic 4 prong. I'll be following this thread for sure.

Did they provide you a link to the rounded style bracelet?

Not sure if I can share the video as it’s not on the WF site but here is a photo.

Interesting! So they can get this type of bracelet setting in that is NOT on the website? Then you have to determine the carat weight you want?

Yes, they can do a custom order, I mentioned they need to list the style as it’s a popular search on Pricescope . I just need to decide what weight I want….
I did custom for my pendant and earrings as I wanted 6 prong settings.

Are you sure it is not this four prong setting? https://www.whiteflash.com/diamond-bracelets/four-prong-diamond-tennis-bracelet-6609.htm

And will they be ACA diamonds? They really should list this on their website!

The video is different to the one on the website. I shared my inspiration photo and description of the style I was after so certainly not a flat straight line bracelet.
I would reach out to them, say it’s the style Liz from Guernsey is looking at!
I don’t want a heavy carat weight and I believe the smallest ACA will be too large for what I want.

That is good because I seem to recall someone having the bracelet I linked custom made and were upset that the diamonds didn’t seem to have enough space between them. That was a couple of years ago at least; surprised they haven’t tried to update that style.

They sell 2 carat diamond tennis bracelets that had .03 diamonds in them. Are you looking for smaller diamonds than that?
