Diamond tennis bracelets

[sjunky13]

Hi sjunky! I am glad to know you also love Victoria Bracelet!! They are different in tone to other tbs! Even with small diamonds, they have the presence. They are classy and elegant, completely to my taste! It seems my sa has finally found a Victoria bracelet with my favorite clasp! We will be on vacation next week, so I will pick it up early July!

I have always loved the Victoria ligne. It is gorgeous. I love the ring as well. I can't wait to see your reveal!

Oh no! Do you think someone has taken the tennis bracelet?

I think it is a good idea to go ahead and get another bracelet. There is no use in making yourself sad thinking about the missing bracelet, know what I mean? Just make yourself happy and do not worry about the missing bracelet. When you are not looking, sometimes it just shows up. Then you will have two beautiful bracelets

hoenstly i do think someone took it.. i was thinking of getting a new one but i'm trying to find something similar to what i had but with now luck..i do hope i find it someday and i'll have two bracelets and everyone i know will be 2 time envious lol

This almost happened to me. I could of sworn I lost my tennis bracelet at yoga (it upset me a little because it was a small place where I knew just about everyone and it bummed me out that someone I knew might have taken it, thou could of been cleaning person). After two weeks of looking and waiting I finally put in the insurance claim and picked out a new bracelet, it was on hold till the check came in. The next day my cleaning lady found it behind my microwave?!?! I was soooo disappointed because by this time I loved the new one! Why did she have to clean behind the microwave? Couldn't she of wiped my baseboards for once? If she had done behind the microwave the next time I could of had 2 and been very happy with a clear conscious. Good luck. Hope your story ends up happy!

Metal is whatever the spot rate is (or you can give them an old gold necklace to melt)... i pay $75/hr for my very experienced jeweler... i think $75-100/hr is reasonable. Setting the diamonds could take a while though... 10-20 hours?

Thanks for responds! Labor Hrly rate is reasonable. I wish that I know a jeweler who experience and charge hourly rate.

This would be a good size to layer.
I upgraded 3 times (I'm sure everyone is sick of my upgrade story, LOL!) needless to say I had diamond shrinkage problems from the get-go!!!
If you buy any TB make sure you have the option of upgrading, then the problem is solved................

I'm still new-ish here and I don't know the story. Can you please share it? I read in another thread that you changed your tennis bracelet to your current one bec. the other one was not as casual but don't recall what that other style was. I'd love to hear the story, can you walk me through from tennis bracelet #1?

How long do you keep the first one before the first upgrade?

The upgrade story is so boring...I'm bored.
But here goes.................................
I sold my e-ring for quite a nice sum and decided to buy a TB (and other goodies). Started with a traditional 7 tcw 18k WG. Within a year I upgraded to a 10 tcw, same traditional style.
Then my old jeweler called and said he got a gorgeous flower TB in, 13 tcw, 18k YG. It was gorgeous so I upgraded to that one. While I loved the flower TB, it just wasn't me. I'm an athletic 5'10" not exactly "dainty"...KWIM?
I let him know I was on the lookout for a traditional TB...ex cut, good color and clarity in WG or plat. It took him awhile and then he found the perfect one (for me).
14 tcw ex cut, G, VS2/SI1. I've worn this bracelet for almost 10 years and still love it.
I probably couldn't afford it today!

That's my boring story and I'm sticking to it...........................

 

[benchwarmer]

Wow that's a great story, hardly boring, quite exciting! What did the flower one look like? Was it like a round in the center with 4-5 rounds surrounding like the typical flower diamond style or some other shape that formed a flower? And now you got me wondering what the e-ring looked like? I'm so nosy!

I think a tennis bracelet is a brilliant piece bec. you get tons of joy from it since it's in the wearer's view. A pair of earrings or pendant aren't as visible to the one wearing them.

Skyqueen, you are the matron of jewelry. Your story is not even near boredom. I am printing out your story and leave it in my Dh journal. Hint hint for him.

Benchmark: I can do an educated guess that skyqueen formal ering is at least 5 CT center stone.
