Diamond tennis bracelets

Hi all, I’m looking for a lab grown TB to stack with my VCA bracelet and whatever else I might wear on that hand. I don’t want anything too large although I know the shrinkage effect is real! The specs on both bracelets are “excellent” cut, F/G color and VS+ clarity,14k gold and they’re both from Grown Brilliance.
1. Should I go for the one that’s round cut (3.25 tcw) or for the multi-shape style (4.5 tcw)?
2. Most of my gold jewelry is 18k gold. Should I go for a TB that’s also 18k gold or does it not really matter?
Thanks!
PS sorry for poor image quality.

Thinking of getting myself one for my 35th. anyone regret theirs?
My regrets are 1. I didn’t get the right size (inches in length) and never sized it down. Therefore it’s not the best fit and I don’t wear it as much as I wanted as an everyday chic piece of jewelry. I should get it sized but I don’t have a trusted jewelry place to take it to.
2. Not a regret per se , I went larger than what initially wanted because my husband and friends said go with the larger carat weight, where as I think the thinner one would have fit the look I was going for better, my bracelet is not huge it’s 5 or 6 ct. from Costco, super clean and sparkly but about an 1.25” too big for my wrist.

I'v heard Costco is stellar when it comes to customer service and returns/exchanges. Do they do labor on prior purchases, and could they shorten it so that you can use it more regularly and have the length you want?

I am keen to add a TB to my stack and tried this on at my jeweler yesterday.

32 stones, 6.27 carats, 19 points?

I am only conversant with diamond rings - what would be a good grade/clarity and is the diamond size too small?

Also, does anyone know what this setting is called? I did want a bezel setting as a worry-free stacking bracelet but my jeweler recommended this instead.

I would take to jeweler and ask if they can shorten while you wait. It’s a fairly simple process to remove extra stones. Takes about 10-15 minutes.

This looks really lovely with your stack. …It looks like a prong martini style. I personally have sweet spot for 40 pointers so these are on small size for me however this is truly a personal preference. I would recommend not going under 25 points of your worried about stone’s looking small. The grade/clarity is so subjective to each individual. I don’t like to go past J/VS because that’s mine clean for me.

Thanks @missie1 for your reply. 💕

I am actually selling my set off and getting a looser (size 18) Cartier Love and diamond JUC in the regular size.

I believe my jeweller said this would be no lower than a G. Have to confirm about clarity and natural of course. 🙂

Is the prong martini style good/popular? I like that it’s more open than a bezel but not entirely sure it would be hard-wearing for stacking.

I have two martini style tennis and I absolutely love love them. This style really showcases the stone imo. I wear my bracelets snug to minimize movement and stack with other bracelets all the time. Here are few pics to show tennis stacked various ways
