What do I look for?

Total diamond weight, setting, number of diamonds...?

Any tips? Thanks!

Your price range will dictate most of those answers IMO.
Just go and try on several different styles, you'll know quickly what you like

Mine is just over 5 carats. . . I posted pics in another thread, I'll see if I can find it.

Your bracelet is beautiful! Thanks for the pictures! I was thinking about 3-5ctw. I guess I'll have to shop around and try them on so I know what I like!

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jan 27th, 2007, 03:06 PM

Thanks, good luck!

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jan 27th, 2007, 03:06 PM

Maybe some more people will post. . . I've only had mine a year and I'd like a bigger one already!

A 3 - 5 ct would be gorgeous!!! Good luck and post pics when you get it!!!

I just purchased a 1ct and love it sooo much....I also wanted one with more ct weight but just didnt feel comfortable....but after looking around and seeing some of these smaller ones...I fell in love...its so cute and it give it just a flash but not too much...I want more...

Swanky Mama Of Three · Jan 27th, 2007, 09:54 PM

oooh, could you post it?

coachwife6 · Jan 27th, 2007, 11:48 PM

Oh, Swanky, I love it. I have wanted one forever.

i have a five carat platinum half bezel tennis bracelet. i really like it. some people don't like so much metal as the half bezel but it doesn't catch on things and the diamonds are totally protected. good luck!

my boyfriend got me a tennis bracelet TDF!! Here's pics...its unique because its got a princess cut in the center and a princess cut clasp....the rest are round stones...good luck

Ok, so I found a great deal on a 6 carat bracelet, but the problem is the setting is yellow gold and s-link. I had my heart set in white gold definitely, and i love bezel setting. Is it possible to have it reset? And if so, how much extra would it be?

Swanky Mama Of Three · Feb 1st, 2007, 02:24 PM

sounds like you'll end up paying the same if you have all those diamonds re-set . . .
probably only a good deal if you're leaving it be.

cutiepie21 · Feb 2nd, 2007, 06:27 PM

Thanks! That's kinda what I was thinking. Oh,well. I guess I'll keep searching.

1) Don't buy one in the mall. Most of those jewelers do not have quality stones. Ask around for a good jeweler in your area.

2) Then determine your price range, once you know how much you want to spend, get the best that money can buy (quality of diamonds, size, clarity)
