I assume it is very personal and also depends on the lifestyle but I am trying to figure out what could be a good TCW for a tennis bracelet that I can use daily. I have seen one which was 2,4 ct but think that maybe I shall look for one with slightly bigger diamonds. Would 4 or 5 ct make sense? Also should I look out for some type of certificate when purchasing and if yes, which one? I assume that you don't get a certificate for each diamond unless purchasing one with very big diamonds?!
I find that tennis bracelet needs to be at least 5ctw to have enough presence on the arm.
This was my first question too when i was considering adding a tennis bracelet (i didnt in the end as i now have eyes for other pieces)
I was adviced you need to choose a TB that is high enough, so that it will not slide under your love.
Also it really depends on the fit of your Love in the first place. My bracelets are generally snug, so i'd know so long the TB is also on the snug side, and high enough, there'll not be crossing.
So you'll need to try it out to finding out.
BUT if you're referring to the sides of the Love, mine already all scratched up at 4 months old because i love stacking, which will give inevitable abrasion.
What size you go for really depends on your lifestyle and what you feel comfortable wearing day to day. I sold my 3 carat tennis bracelet as I never wore it - no-one I see day to day wears fine jewellery and I felt self conscious. I now have three dainty (1.50 ttcw each) tennis bracelets in yellow, white and rose gold which look gorgeous together stacked but also very pretty worn separately.
I also think that if you choose good quality diamonds, even a dainty bracelet will still have a good presence on your arm.
I’m thinking of getting this 1.65 cttw. I know it’s small but it’s really sparkly, and a great size to stack. The seller has one in rose gold too and I am so tempted to get both! If I get only one it will be the white gold as it’s the most classic.

That’s beautiful! Agree the WG would be more classic and think having the gold in a contrasting color would take away from the diamonds, because of the bezel set imho.
Sooo beautiful! Congratulations.After years of taking inspiration and notes from this thread, finally can post my dream TB! It’s ~9cts of emerald cut diamonds set north-south in 14k YG. I love step cuts and am so happy with how it came out
