Tennis Bracelet -- Difference betw .11 stones or .15 stones?

[lovewhitediamonds]

Hi Fellow PS''ers....

Need your expert advice on a potential purchase please...

Do you think there would be a huge difference between .11 stones and .15 stones on a tennis bracelet?

Looking at 5ctw or 6ctw



Thanks in advance for your help! It is greatly appreciated!!

I, personally, would rather have the smaller of the two. I have a 4 ct. bracelet with 10 pointers, and it is a little too much for me to wear everyday. I don''t have to dress up for my job, though.

Thanks diamondseeker -- I have seen pics of your bracelet and it''s beautiful.....
Yeah, maybe I should look at smaller...

I think the difference would be quite noticeable to the eyes, but the 11 pointers are still going to look pretty big!

thanks kcoursolle ... I would like to wear this everyday.... I have this pic -- I know it''s been posted a million times... but I think it looks good...

here''s a good comparison.....
I don''t know... maybe now I should look at the 4ctw... I like the look of the 5... maybe 6 would be too big. I just didn''t think there would be a big difference betw the .11 in the 5ctw and the .15 in the 6ctw...

I think the 11 pointers would be perfect! They look large, without being overly large for everyday wear. You could wear it with an evening gown or jeans.

Good point -- that''s exactly what I''m going for -- something I could wear every day but also wear for a dressy night out.
Thanks for your input. I just hope that I can still see little arrows on the 11 pointers

I think you''d get used to any size. I have a 2 ct and sometimes think I''d like larger but I also like to wear it with gemstone bracelets. Either one you get would be PRETTY.

 

[lovewhitediamonds]

any other opinions out there? any tennis bracelet owners care to share ? Does anyone currently have one and wish it was bigger or smaller???

I''m ordering today.........

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your advice!

I think the key is to have more than one for different occasions!

What size diamond is in your e-ring? I kind of like things to be proportional.

(Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my bracelet! I bought it before I knew about all the setting choices, but I did get nice quality diamonds, at least!)

Thanks again diamondseeker --- my e-ring is 5ctw and I also have an eternity band... I wear an ebel beluga with small diamonds on my left hand with my e-ring... so, I was thinking of wearing this on my right... or I guess I could try to get used to wearing my watch on the right...

Thanks for your help

Okay, then in that case, I think either the 5 ct or 6 ct would be fine for you. The 11 pointers are going to be close to the size of mine, and they are not what I would consider large. With your diamond size, I think I might try the 6 carat first.

That''s funny because the Ebel Beluga is one of my top watch choices right now. Which style do you have, the round or tonneau? I''d love to see a picture to get an idea of size on the wrist if you have time!

Thanks again for your help ---- I have the mini beluga in stainless with the diamonds... I''m running out the door now, but will snap a pic this afternoon and post it for you. I got it 10 years ago ... but I think they are still making it. I have the mother of pearl face. I love it.. and feel it''s a classic. Thanks again

Yes, that is exactly the one I like with MOP face! I just haven''t decided if I want the diamond bezel or just diamonds for the numbers. I''ll look forward to seeing the pictures! I need to get off of here too because we are headed to the beach for a few days! But the laptop comes with me so I can check email and PS!

I would go with the smaller carat weight. It''ll still be blingy.

And yes, you should be able to see arrows in .11''s, I could see them when I owned WF''s 2ctw bangle and they had .08''s.

Thanks Orbaya -- I''ve very torn and I am making the call right now -- going back and forth. I think it will be 5ctw... Thanks for your advice!

Thank you! I really like that style with the Roman numerals and diamonds on the dial. The "new" style has all diamonds on the dial, and I actually like the older style better. I emailed the person who sold me my Memoire band and asked him if they ever discount Ebel watches, and he said to give him a call. So that was encouraging! Thanks again..your watch is beautiful and I am sure it is very complimentary to your rings!

Sure!!

Good luck with your new watch -- I really love my Ebel! The pics didn''t really show the MOP face... but the face on mine is more "white" than "pink-ish" if you know what I mean. Be sure to post pics when you get yours.

Thanks for your replies regarding the bracelet -- I really appreciate it. I went with the 6ctw WF ACA. I waffled, but thought I might as well start big and then I can go down from there. I love the arrows on the WF bracelets...
