^sounds like good news to me!

so you wear your bracelet every day? with your watch? I love that look, but I'm not sure I could do it. sometimes the feel of jewelry can really annoy me...especially in the summer. what color gold is your tennis bracelet?
I wear it everyday with my watch. I've worn this combo for years, that's why I feel so naked! LOL!
WG, so the jeweler is going to rhodium re-plate/coat. I never even asked, they are very good to me.

This setting would look stunning in RG...love the simplicity and the double prongs. Your stone will be the center of attention.
I just had my tennis bracelet checked, for insurance, plus my security chain broke. It's being sent away...2 lose diamonds, check the setting and they'll re-plate it. Should look brand new. But I feel naked!!!
Bad news (or good, depending) the bracelet had gone up, in price, and I have to have my insurance adjusted.
It' a good thing you checked it, you wouldnt want to lose those diamonds!

I have them checked every 6 months. I've had this bracelet many years and after awhile the setting "stretches" a bit....and the stones can losen.
Everyone, with a tennis bracelet, should have their setting checked when they have their stones checked.

I would love a 2-4 carat tennis bracelet for everyday wear, I might ask my boss (he owns jewellery stores) to see if he can give me a good price:graucho:

I have a CZ version and i've been wearing it lately to see if it would be an everyday piece

The one good thing about a tennis bracelet...classic, never seems to go out of style.
Keep us posted with your decision.

and I most likely get 50- to 70% off retail if I buy from my boss...never hurts right? LOL

but seriously like you said a tennis bracelet cna be worn all the time, I originally thought I wanted a bangle but now i'm not so sure:confused1:

Well...I have the eternity bangles, too. I also have a YG 3ct "Quad" hinged bangle.
Out of all, the tennis bracelet is the most classic and dramatic.
Wish I worked for your boss. LOL!
 
haha its a (financially) dangerous business!! i'm unsure of what I want but my boss is a diamond snob he only works with D,E colour and vvs clarity so its going to be expensive even with a discount :S i'm probably going to wait because of the price of small diamonds right now and gold prices, everything is so expensive at the moment:rant:
 
My first job was at a jewelry boutique, I feel you, I never actually got a paycheck because I was putting "on hold" things I liked. Unfortunately I have none of my old pieces , everything was stolen when I gave a party, and a friend brought 2 skunks with him that pinched it all. I particularly miss a "love knot" pair of platinum earrings...

grr I hate when I hear things like that, people can be so disrespectful... whenever I have people over I dont know I hide my jewellery box under my bed LOL.
luckily i'm not in my boss's jewellery stores I work for his watch company in advertising but still theres always gemstones and semi mounts and diamonds floating around the custom jewellery workshop in the other half of the office! and whenever i'm visiting clients its always in jewellery stores and then they are always offering huge discounts as well!! I cant win!!
 
^ It was supposed to be a small gathering that got out of hand, I was 20 yo at the time and naive about ppl. They struck me as skunks immediately, but I didn't want to be a party pooper. I learned my lesson after that. Now I have a safe :)

Oh boy! How can you resist when all those beautiful sparkly things are under your nose?
