Hi!
I have been in the market for a tennis necklace for a couple months and I found one from a jeweler I have previously purchased from. It is already made, exactly what I wanted and he is offering a pretty good deal since I am a return customer, the only problem is it's longer than I wanted. It is 18.25" and I was shopping for a 16". I could have my local jeweler make it shorter or perhaps take the extra 2" and turn that into an extender incase I ever want to wear it longer. However, is that just wasting money on diamonds I am not using? I just don't see myself wanting to wear an 18" very often, if at all but I guess I cannot be sure until I have it. Does anyone have any opinions on length of tennis necklaces? Alternatively I can wait till he has a 16" available he just didn't know when that would be or if it will be exactly what I want. If I had him custom make one it voids a return policy and he is not local to me so I wanted to avoid that route. If I got a 16" (same carats as an 18") I suppose the 16" diamonds would look slightly bigger but I am guessing the size difference would be very minimal? Any advice would be appreciated! I am a little paralyzed by this decision! Thank you in advance.
