I wear a 5kt tennis bracelet everyday. I think that I could go bigger but haven't made the next big purchase yet!

Good luck with your search and hope you post pictures of what you get!

I'm in the same boat. I have a men's size Rolex with diamonds in white gold. I am buying the Cartier love bangle also in white gold with 4 diamonds. I'm not sure what size diamonds to use on tennis bracelet to stack and look incredible. What do you suggest. I want it to look bold.

There is a lot of "diamond shrinkage" when it comes to TB. Trust me! If you want a bold look I'd start with at least a 8 tcw, maybe 10 tcw. If you have the money to spend it will save you from upgrading to get the size you want.

I agree, you can never go too big but it really does depend upon your life style.
I have four, the first I bought about twenty years ago when they first became popular, that was in yellow gold, then I bought another, the same size but in the white gold a few years later, in the past ten years I have gotten two more, one smaller than the other. My lifestyle is much more simpler now than it used to be, I am retired now and have moved to another country. I'm not around too many people that wear big diamonds anymore so I don't feel as comfortable wearing them during the day, now going out in the evenings is another story and of course who I go out with other than my husband.

I would say that it depends upon where you live and where you go. If you live in a place where there is high theft and crime and people don't wear large tennis bracelets, you might stand out more wearing a larger one. If you're in Newport Beach, Palm Beach, Beverly Hills, etc. go for it!

If I could afford it, I'd buy it. Not sure about the carats, 20-30 carats I guess.

I don't think there is too much for tennis bracelet either. I wish for at least 5-8tcwt but mine is only 2ct and I'm embarrass to say that I can't even wear it everyday because smaller diamonds = dainty bracelet. I'm too afraid to lose it in case my twins pull it out by accident.

Love4H, your bracelet is gorgeous!

I wear a 7.75 CTW in emerald cut diamonds everyday. I have a 4 CTW princess cut bracelet that I used to wear but I wanted something a little bigger. I am very happy with the size and diamond shape of the bracelet I wear now.
