Hi all I decided to get the bracelet after all ! Any advice on length and how to get the best fit ? Should it be more snug or should it fit loosely and how loose should it be ? What is your experience in tennis bracelet fitting?

Congratulations! Please take a photo of your new bracelet when you get the chance.:smile1:

As for your question - Length would be very subjective and dependent on your wrist's measurements.
As for fit, I have been known to drive my jewellers batty with my VERY specific fit requirements for bracelets :D

So here goes: it has to be loose enough that it falls about 1/2 inch from the lowest part of my wrist bone. When my hand is facing downwards, it has to fall at that point where your wrist "ends" and your hand "begins". When my hand is dropped, I should be able to comfortably put in both my index and middle finger - there should be enough space to loosely fit both fingers.
I hope this helps and doesn't confuse you!

I have my tennis bracelet with me and will take a pic later to show you what I mean.
 
I prefer bracelets to bangles, and I wear my diamond bracelet whether I'm dressing up or in jeans and a t-shirt. Honestly, I think they're just as versatile as bangles.

I hope this helps! I look forward to seeing your new beauty!! :smile1:

Thank you so much BBC! :p

This is a diamond and platinum tennis bracelet from Leviev, 1 carat each of round brilliant cuts. E, VVS1. :smile1:

Audrey - sorry I don't mean to take over your thread! :hugs:
 
Curious if anyone who wears a tennis bracelet pairs it with a Love bracelet...

I prefer the bling and sparkle of a bracelet, but love the way the bangles look with my Love. I guess I need both! Haha!

Hi Leah your bracelet is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you kindly for sharing the fit and the bracelet!! As mine is much thinner the bracelet will be more droopy as the stones are smaller but I love the way it hangs on your wrist too! Perfect!!
 
Philij12: I tried this b4 and love the look too but I found my love was sliding over the diamonds and after a while scratched up the underside of the love a bit so I wore them separately out of fear of scratching it more [emoji28]
 
Thank you so much BBC! :p

Can't wait to see your new bracelet Audrey!!

Just gorgeous but I'm still after your Cartier Panther!

My darling friend, it's all yours! I promised it to you years ago remember :D
(btw, this is the upgrade bracelet we talked about years ago!!)

And I'm shipping the panther bracelet to you asap, because I think it's just a bit too much to wear with my brand new ring, the one below

:p

Good God Leah. That bracelet!

Thanks darling! I'll see you at the colored diamond section of our fantasy jeweller in a bit (am wearing blue today) :laugh::laugh:

You are hilarious BBC :D, this is a bit less than 30 carats. Thankfully I have pretty small wrists! :laugh:
And for the specs, I now recall it is actually between vvs1/vvs2.
