Diamond Bracelet or Diamond Bangle?

[prapea]

I want to buy some diamonds for my hands :). I am looking for something that I can wear everyday and with anything like jeans or dress or even some Indian Outfits.

I saw lot of tennis bracelets. Are these comfortable? I also recently saw a bangle with lot of tiny diamonds. It looked very cute. i will see if I can find osme pictures.

What do you wear? any opinions?

My vote is diamond bangle (looks a little more modern). Tiffanys have a "metro" bangle that I've got my eye on, so pretty.

oh my. I just saw the metro bangle on tiffany's website. Yup, That's what I had in mind when I said bangle.

I guess you are right. It's a diamond bangle without looking like I have too much bling on... but again I love me some bling..lol

I LOVE the metro bangle. I saw one at a shop in the LA jewelry district for a fraction of the price. I think it's more wearable and fun than a tennis bracelet.

The etoile bangle is also nice...

I think the tennis bracelets are more comfortable, because they don't bang around as much as bangles do. They conform to the shape of your wrist, so they're not knocking around on everything.

My vote is for the bangle too!
Sooo gorgeous <3

The Tiffany is very pretty but I prefer Cartier Love Collection bangles for me.

I love bangles. Mimi So makes beautiful ones under her Lula collection. Once you have a nice diamond bangle it's fun to change the look by stacking other bangles with it. This is a nice site to go to for bangles to stack. She's a young indie designer http://www.michellechangjewelry.com/

You can add a couple sterling bangles with yellow gold accents and the diamond bangle just pops all the more. Here are some from Michelle Chang's site:


Nice to stack with a YG diamond bangle


Oxidized sterling silver with diamond eyes. Diamonds in an existing bracelet would make the eyes show even more--they play off each other.


A nice stack of 7 14k bangles for $575--very reasonable given the labor.

Me&Ro makes lovely bangles (though a little pricey--their 7 stack of 10k bangles is $2500ish.)

And the superstar diamond bangles from Ippolita are gorgeous.

I love the way bangles look, but they're not as comfortable for me.
I wear 5-6 crt tennis bracelet every single day and I don't even feel it.

I have a diamond bangle and love it, but agree with others that a tennis bracelet will be more comfortable for everyday. I only wear my bangle on special days when I want a little extra bling.

[adoptastray]

I didn't think about comfort. I wear a bangle stack everyday and am so used to it I don't feel it. I also love the soft clink, clink of gold bangles.

Swanky - Is there a picture of your tennis bracelet posted? How long have you had it?

I love the look of the Metro bangle but I'd look for a similar bracelet in a hinged style which would be more comfortable for me. I have small wrists and bangles don't work well for me. A tennis bracelet would be more comfortable, but if you're used to wearing bangles they are gorgeous!!

I was so close to suggest bracelet until I saw "Indian outfits" - that gotta go with a bunch of stacked pretty bangles.
