BLue Nile!

Blue Nile. Though, you may be able to find something good at a local reputable jeweler, too. Now that you know roughly what you want, you can see who else can offer you a deal. Also, apparently, Costco is supposed to have good diamonds (does anyone know this?) Its unromantic, but here is an alternate:

I would go with BlueNile or independent jeweler.

Dear ML2S...my diamond studs and tennis bracelet are both G color for reference. Hard to tell from my lousy pics but face-up very white. I would go with G/J color. Also invest in an additional safety clasp. Good luck...what fun!!!

GORGEOUS pieces. may i ask what carat size is your tennis bracelet? beautiful.

The Blue Nile bracelet has slightly bigger diamonds (about 15 points each) while the Ross Simons one is about 13 points each. IMO, that's not a lot of difference in size. With diamonds this size, you won't get GIA certs.

How big is your wrist? I have small wrists and I can't wear standard length 7-inch tennis bracelets. I'm getting a 6-inch one custom made and since I need less diamonds for the bracelet, my budget allows me to go bigger for the diamonds, each accompanied with a cert too!

i also have small wrists. because of this i may go to an independent jeweler that way i can also get bigger stones.

saligator: i keep hearing so many wonderful things about Costco diamonds that I may have to go there personally and check them out. It gives me more reason to become a member.

TY everyone for all your responses. Currently I'm leaning towards an independent jeweler.
