Diamond Tennis Bracelet or Diamond Bangle

Tennis bracelet! What carat weight are you thinking of?

2.95 carat with round bezel wrapped from de beers... The bangle is super sparkly despite being paved too

I prefer the bracelet.

I had the same dilemma and I went with tennis bracelet and I love it!

Tennis. If I may also suggest, you should look at other jewellers. You'll get a better price.

I prefer the tennis bracelet to the bangle. The diamonds are more substantial or stand out compare to the pave bangle.

 

[Audrey_S]

Thanks everyone. Sorry, one more question...as the tennis bracelet is more substantial do you ever worry you would get mugged on the street etc or do you only wear the tennis bracelet for special occasions? I feel that with the bangle not everyone may know it's real or fake.

bracelet although i prefer it in the square setting (like the bangle in your pic)

Nope I don't really worry about security when using nice jewelry. But I guess if I am heading somewhere unfamiliar, like traveling to a new city, I just choose to wear something more discreet.

I use my tennis bracelet as a daily accessory. If I find myself a bit concerned about security while wearing a bracelet that might get some attention, I just pull down my sweater or coat and temporarily hide it (but that's pretty rare!)

Please show us your pic when you get the bracelet
I guess everyone voted for the bracelet over the bangle!

 

[Audrey_S]

Thanks Leah I will! Finally I realise there is prong versus bezel setting. Are there pro n cons for either setting for daily wear?

The prong setting shows more of the diamond and sparkles a lot more I've found.

 

[Audrey_S]

Thanks everyone!! All very good advice ... Going to make a purchase soon. How loose or "drape" do most tpfers like to wear their bracelets?

Totally agree!

I like my bracelets to be a little bit snug. I like it to fall maybe not more than half an inch from lowest part of the wrist bone.

Tennis bracelet gets my vote too. And prone setting to get max sparkle! Love mine!

I guess I'm one of the few votes for a bangle! This is just generally speaking, I have had both and I always felt the bangle was more secure on my wrist. I wore a TB for several years and I found that it sorta stretched out a bit over time. Bangles retain their shape.
