I will check out prices for you too and check out the website you chose a bit more. I really do think that in general less than an excellent or ideal cut is fine in a bracelet and/or small diamonds but in bigger stones I would want a really superb cut as well. But in general a bigger stone will show everything a lot more; yellow/brown tones, clarity issues, etc., so not only a bigger stone is already more expensive but you need better quality too. My 2 ct bangle was a preowned piece which was numbered and I need to research it further who the designer was but the stones are also good cut, clarity and color and it is beautiful. Also, my favorite piece is an Art Deco diamond watch with 50 some odd achtcant cut diamonds, so an older cut and color and clarity are only good and somewhat mixed but it is amazingly sparkly. Quite honestly, I often find I love the look at many smaller diamonds as there is something about how they reflect light together and add onto each other's sparkle.

I totally agree about small diamonds. The only large diamond I would want is on a ring or solitaire pendant.
Thank you for looking into the vendor! I'm new to diamonds and don't know whether I'm getting a good deal or not. I think in general diamond/gold is more expensive on the uk we have 20% vat so I think we need to take in consideration of that :)

I too think very much the same, I have a solitaire engagement ring and I too think pendants can be beautiful with one larger diamond but even though I love my engagement ring I find art deco pieces and tennis bracelets more exciting somehow even though I am very much into stones because they are my main interest but when worn many small diamonds can exhibit a more flashy sparkle IMHO. I do not know your particular vendor but they seem fine and I actually find the price fair for retail especially considering your higher VAT, it is not that bad at all. Just consider how many people pay a premium for a brand and I am not against that either as some designers make beautiful pieces but if your bracelet was priced much lower I would be worried that something is amiss. Eventually you have to make the decision but if you feel good about them then I see no reason why not go ahead, you can still do more background check and/or call them if you like. Do not worry about mixing gold colors, I often do the same, it is quite all right when done tastefully. I mainly wear white due to having mostly diamonds but I have some colored stones pieces in YG and you can wear a WG bracelet with a YG necklace or earrings. I also love rose gold. You can have a lot of fun with jewelry and stones, mixing and matching them. Have fun in your selection and enjoy your new piece, post pix when you get it! I will try doing the same with mine.:))) It is fun sharing our pride.

Thank you so much for your help :)
When I purchase my item i will defo post pictures :)
One more questions a lot of my rings are yellow gold, some being very yellow as they are 24k, if I was to wear then with a wg bracelet would it clash? I have some rings not so yellow 18k-22k would they look ok?

I think everything goes as long as you like it and you do it tastefully, I actually like the contrast between gold colors; if you think about it you see many jewelry designs with different gold colors within the same piece which I personally like very much. You can also think of perhaps getting a ring like that in the future which would sort of bring the look together but it is fine as it is too.

Great iv decided to buy from this vendor! Both me and my parents agree that the price is decent and reviews are good. We just can't decide now between this style

Iv always thought bezel style kind of blocks the light however advisor said it actually very sparkly.
If I was to buy a ring I would never go for bezel.

Number 2 for sure, very nice classic and classy setting.:))) Bezel set is generally used to make the stones look bigger but I too agree, light return is less and I am not that into the style either. I think with No. 2 you cannot go wrong, that one you will love and be able to wear and use for all occassions every day long term if you like. It is also much easier to clean a more open setting and do remember that diamonds will lose 50 % of their light return in just 3 days is uncleaned, then you may as well not wear diamonds as there is nothing uglier than unkept diamonds.
