I tried on 2ctw and it was itty bitty so I did not take pics. The photo above is 3.7ctw. I am not so fond of the setting either. I just wanted to hear ppl thoughts. I did not get the TB above and I've decided on the half eternity bangle for now. TB is moved back to the bottom of the wishlist. ;)

Half eternity bangle is a very good idea - great for stacking too. I saw a set of 3 with white diamond, yellow diamond, and a third one set in black diamond.

Here's pics of my three bracelets. The bottom yellow gold one is a bezel set diamond bracelet. The middle one is a white and yellow gold Le Vian with diamonds and ceylon sapphires, and the top one is white gold set with 5 carats of prong set diamonds. I lov them, and I wear them nearly all the time!

Hi :) where would you lovely ladies recommend purchasing a quality diamond tennis bracelet from ? I'm in the uk and was thinking of Ernest jones or goldsmiths but not sure whether they offer quality diamonds or whether they are a rip off?

Hi Blackstar, I wouldn't touch either of them when buying a tennis bracelet (in my humble opinion). They are totally overpriced for the diamonds you get in the bracelet. I went to a local jeweller, who knew far more than ER or GS, but I have to say, I find lack of knowledge a common problem with English SA's, is it just me? :shrugs: If you are near London I would consider going to Hatton Garden.
 
Hi :) thanks for the replies
When you say they are overpriced, are they really poor quality? Is the gold or diamonds bit the quality they claim them to be ?
I'm not able to get to London unfortunately :( id love to
What do you think about the Canadian ice collection for rings at goldsmiths?
There aren't many options for jewellers here I just don't want to spend money if it's junk they're selling
Or is it just slightly overpriced ? Would it be more likely to damage and fall apart / lose stones
Thanks

My previous post I called you "benchmark", LOL. I love my watch and I have another one in the same size but two-tones w/ diamonds bezel but with older year. I was planning to wear that bracelet (pics posted above) with the two-tone watch or soon arrive YG eternity bangle. I now want to go back to the store to take pic w/ other watch. Bracelet on picture/screen makex it more bigger than in real life.

My dream TB is two-prongs with .20-.25ct per stone in WG or platinum. Obiviously, that is not gonna to happen anytime soon. I don't even want to day dream about it.

Yes, I agree w/ Skyquee. We would love to see pic of your TB. Drive back to your parents and have dinner there or grab them.:p

hi bagladyseattle, I still haven't photographed my bracelet, I don't why I just don't ask him to do it but I don't even know if he'd know how to post it on the computer. I feel so silly posting this but I found my bracelet in this video that I helped my son with for youtube just yesterday. When I helped him with the video I noticed afterward that you can see the bracelet at the 2.11 mark in the video. I hate to make you sit through the whole silly thing so if you can fast forward to around that point you'll see my bracelet but it gets blurry at points with all the movement of me folding the papers for the raffle lol.

LOL! I sat through the whole video. Your bracelet is sparkling in the video ,but I cannot tell the setting style.

I went out last week to jewelry store again and tried on 2ctw, 3ctw, and 5ctw ish w/ 4 prongs. 5ctw is with $12000 price range. Yikes.... it's way overpriced.
 
This is what i tried on:

The closet to my shoulder is 2ctw. The closet to hand is 3ctw.

This one is 5ctw... nice size, but it's rediculously overpriced.
