Oh my, I am looooving this eye candy!! Or wrist candy! 
I have a credit at Birks and have ordered a tennis bracelet in 1.62 carats ... dainty and hopefully every-day wearable! At $5,600 not cheap but not where I'm afraid to wear it at least!! TRYING to decide if I should get WG or RG or YG... I own a few other bracelets that would look pretty with this (two YG VCA bracelets and one WG one, one YG Cartier Love... and one half-diamond hinged metro bangle in WG) but am not sure if I should get YG to match some of those or stick to WG - with diamonds is WG just the way to go?
FYI: I owe you pics! I also own the Victoria 3.26 carat one from Tiffany's but even though it's insured I'm just so scared to lose it!! I know it's nuts. Even had a safety chain put on it by Tiffany's. I should just chill and wear it but I feel like it's so pretty I'd hate to lose it! LOL.
AND... I also own the Tiffany Swing bracelet which I also ADORE and feel like it's even more appropriate for every day wear... but if you own it you'll know what I mean when I say it has give in the hinges, but not a LOT... I've already bent it once by accidentally sleeping in it and had to have Tiffany's "unbend it" - I was too scared I'd snap it. hard to explain but if you've felt it you know it's actually less every-day wearable than a typical tennis bracelet. Anyway come Christmastime I should own all three and will stack them up when I dare!! My plan is to wear the 1.6 one all the time and never take it off, and add the others when I'm feeling careful/safe/special.

To that point ... I have a question for you all. Are yellow gold tennis bracelets just not a good idea?? Should I stick to white gold?
I have a question for those of you ladies who wear your TBs daily. Do you wear them 24/7 or take them off everyday? I have not been wearing mine a lot coz I'm afraid of losing stones or the clasp to become loose if I take it on/off all the time. This thread made me realize that I have not been wearing my bracelets for awhile now... TIA
There are times for 7 days in the row and then take off to wear other bracelet. Spread out the loves to my other pieces. I take my jewelry off when I work on yard and garden.
I have taken my TB and rubbed against my silk to rub against it, then it would snagged. Otherwise, it has been good. I am happy w/ 4-prongs so far.
Thank you! I went a little overboard w/ jewelry and Hermes department this year. I am happy and content. Yes, I would not and pre-owned watch if it's from a reputable seller and excellent condition watch. I also suggest if you are buying pre-loved, you also need to do due-deligence as a buyer to make sure that item is authentic and as it's described.
Yes, i love foods and like homegrown veggies. I live in the city but still like the feel of country. I loving working, gardening, handy type of gal. i need to update my blog. I loose 4 lbs from having salad for lunch for on and off during 4 wks. I just finish w/ painting my vanity table for my room yesterday.
Perhaps still dreaming of larger TB when I get 40. and still a quite way out from now.

Thanks for letting me know, bagladyseattle! Very reassuring to hear that there had been no issues!

the birks tennis bracelets are beautiful! I prefer the tennis bracelets in WG or RG.
and I want pics of these victoria and swing bracelets!!!
I prefer WG tennis bracelet over YG...but I've never seen the RG one and I would love to see the traditional tennis bracelet in RG!
And like Candice...I want some modeling pics of YOUR eye candies please!
what would you like to see? any requests?

OMG, I die!!
Your entire jewelry collection is simply divine! Personally, I prefer the look of a white gold tennis bracelet, no matter what colour of gold you stack it with.
Can't wait for your reveal!!!
I think it is nice in YG as well.. maybe just more common in WG.. I have both.. I had to have both since I love to rotate between YG and WG and don't like to mix metals alot..
I prefer a prong setting for WG and a channel setting for Yg (I like to see the color of the metal more in YG pieces)..

Thanks for your answers ladies! I probably will stick with WG since it's so teeny too, don't want to overwhelm the sparkle with any other metals. This (above) is the bracelet I'm looking at but in WG. I had a credit note there when I changed my mind about the frivole VCA earrings and was going to trade "up" to the 3 row diamond perlee, but just couldn't justify the price... and couldn't commit to $10K for something I wasn't head over heels for... so I traded for a YG byzantine (sp?) VCA bracelet that I've always admired and now have some left over to pay for half a diamond bracelet and STILL be out of pocket less. yay!
