what makes tennis bracelets roll?

[Black Jade]

I am buying a tennis bracelet. I have already put one on layaway, it is 2 cttw weight, four prong in yellow gold. It is pretty and delicate. For a very few more $$$, I could change to a similar one that is 3 cttw. I think I like the size a little better (but the 2 cttw is not bad, just more delicate). the problem is, when I try it on in the store, the 3 cttw bracelet rolls around on my arm so that you can''t see the diamonds half the time. The salesperson assures me that this is because the 3 cttw bracelet is too large for me and that this problem would be solved if they took out some links. (the 2cttw is a perfect fit). Is this true? I would hate to order the bracelet, have them take out links and find that it still ROLLS.

Has anyone had problem with a tennis bracelet rolling? Is the saleslady telling the truth? they are both older style tennis bracelets with four prongs kind of a box setting.

Thanks for feedback.

P.S. No offense--I don''t want advice to buy a bracelet from a P''scope vendor--in this case, the price is very right and I am satisfied with the diamond quality--I intend to buy from this shop and I just want feedback about the rolling.
Thanks again.

It sounds like the bracelet is too long for your wrist, ask the sales person to guarantee that removing the links will eliminate the problem or allow you the option of returning the bracelet.

Interestingly enough, when I think of a tennis bracelet "rolling" I think of the links and how they "roll" smoothly or catch and click when the links are "rolled" which provides insight into how well the bracelet has been manufactured - the smoother the links "roll" the better
