for every day wear, I think 3-4 carat would be very practical and gorgeous - NO??? LOL

I think on its own, 3 is a great start.
You can go with a lesser weight if you layer with other things too. I like 2-3 on me because I like to layer and I don’t want too much sparkle.
I prefer to look at pointer size. I like .25 pointers or larger.
Hi! I'm going to keep searching in this thread but does anyone quickly know whether tennis bracelets should come with certificates from a specific company? I don't think the diamonds are large enough to receive a GIA certificate, but am wondering what is generally customary when purchasing a tennis bracelet from a jeweler? My partner and I are going to a jeweler this afternoon in Miami to look at some options. Thank you!
Your receipt or a separate document should detail the specs with the price. Total carat weight, how many total diamonds, approximate weight of each stone, color …..cut….clarity, set in what kind of metal (gold , platinum etc).
Thank you! I appreciate the detail. We’re getting a quote on Monday as it looks like we’re going to have to get the bracelet custom made and will confirm these details will be in the appraisal doc
My new tennis bracelet is now my constant companion but I try to create a new stack version every day. Today once with Datejust and Love bracelet!
Since I pretty much always wear a Fitbit these days, I stopped wearing nice bracelets. Jewelry just doesn't look right next to my Fitbit.
I guess I worry that a petite tennis bracelet will look strange next to a Fitbit. I also don't know if a large one would work though.

I don't think so at all! I personally don't like apple watches/fit bits but I've seen photos of people wearing them with their Cartier Love bracelets and it looks good. Depending on the size of the bracelet it might work. I'd go to a jeweler and just try some on for fun
Here’s mine. 5ct, F-G color, VS clarity half bezel set in rose gold.
I prefer the channel-like setting in the first pic!
I think the answer to this really depends on your lifestyle as well as personal preference. Much as I would love an enormous tennis bracelet I know that I would never wear it, both because I am surrounded by people that are not into fine jewellery at all as well as feeling self-conscious - particularly with the current cost of living crisis.
Personally, for a bracelet worn on its own, I like 5-7 carats. Large enough to have presence but not huge. For a bracelet to stack with others I think 2-4 carats is perfect (and of course it depends on what other bracelets you want to stack with so that the overall look is cohesive).
You might also want to consider a diamond bangle. I no longer have the same lust for a tennis bracelet since I got my Tiffany Metro hinged bangles in white and yellow gold. They are so sparkly and easy to wear and I love that I can either stack them together or with other bracelets. I really want a rose gold one now to complete the trio!
