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 had the same regret, found I wasn't wearing mine because it looked too long next to other bracelets. I sized down and absolutely love it now. Wish I had sized down years ago.

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 guess it's a matter of personal preference. As for me, the bezel setting works better. I feel that I don't have to worry about the prongs loosening up and/or catching on knit fabrics. The bezel just works better for my lifestyle...also, I prefer 18k yellow gold to go with pretty much all of my jewelry. I think Im going to be phasing out the 18k white gold pieces as it really doesn't do anything for my skin tone.

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

I really appreciate your pictures as I have a long tennis bracelet that I would like to shorten to wear with other bracelets. May I ask how long your fitted tennis bracelets are after shortening and your wrist circumference?

Gosh yes! I love these photos thanks for sharing. 😍 Your setting looks like the ‘illusion’ look I originally wanted but don’t dare to go for. The diamonds look beautiful in this three pronged setting but I am a natural worrier. ☺️

The setting my jeweller showed me seems to have a thicker layer of metal around the diamonds - do you have any opinions that you could share to a TB novice like me? 🙂

I was admiring your bezel setting! ❤️

I like the white gold with a TB to break up the YG but I know what you mean as my first ‘want’ was a YG bezel TB.

My jeweller said bezel is an older style, he hasn’t had clients ask for it in years and then recommended that setting I tried as a compromise.

Couldn’t agree more, @missie1! More light saturation for more sparkle. I also love a martini set solitaire necklace ❤️

Glad the visual helped. The three prong is super secure one it allows the light to shine thru the stones. None martini settings tend to be more metal heavy which doesn’t allow light to fully showcase the stones. I would recommend trying on all styles and take pics so you can refer back and then make your decision

These were custom made bracelets so they never required shortening. I wear a size 17 love bracelet. I will take measurements tomorrow and post for you.

It’s something about the martini setting that just blows all others away.

Such sound advice. 💖 I will try to do that tomorrow. Do you have any other styles you like and recommend?

You typed ‘none martini setting’ in your reply, did you mean all martini settings?

Would love to see the pics you take tomorrow. I would suggest trying a low profile set 4 prong but these normally have to be custom made. I mean all other settings 4 prong, bezel etc tend to be metal heavy.

Hi All. This thread has convinced me I need a tennis bracelet in my life. Has anyone shopped with Nicole Rose jewelry online? I really love the 4 carat classic tennis bracelet with my stack (classic love and juc). Any thoughts/insight on this merchant is greatly appreciated :)
