Studs, watch or bracelet?

OK...I'm just throwing this out there.
If you are not wearing the cluster studs that you have and want bigger, why not trade up and get 2 tcw studs. My favorite size, with studs, is 2 tcw...especially when "diamond shrinkage" sets in. Don't let something sit in your jewelry case and not use it. You might get a better deal if you go to the jeweler you bought the cluster studs from. Look for studs just under 2 tcw, like 1.85-1.96 tcw...you'll save some money and they'll look like 2 carat. 2 carat studs would look fabulous with your Riviera diamond tennis necklace!
You own some beautiful jewelry already, so you don't want to skimp.
I love the black J12, too. Could definitely see you rocking that watch!
Sorry if I sound like your Mother. LOL!

LOL! I WISH! Then I'd have an excuse to borrow your jewellery!

Ever since I asked you guys for advice I started wearing my clusters and I am falling in love with them all over again! Funny story. My boyfriend had promised to buy me a pair of studs and had chosen a pair but was nervous to go ahead and buy without me. When he took me to the shop we saw the cluster earrings. I tried on both and everybody in the store - including myself - thought there was no comparison, the clusters were more beautiful. The clusters are a good size too. I don't have the specs but they're definitely more than two carats and either an E or F clarity, VS1. I think the problem is I wear a lot of hanging earrings so I have to get accustomed to a more conservative look.

The riviera is part of the reason why I wanted to get the studs - you know me so well Skyqueen! I really thought more people would have voted for the white gold tennis bracelet. I have lots of diamond white gold jewellery, and lots of yellow gold bracelets that I find look odd with the white gold. I wish every time I dressed I could show you guys to get some feedback!

I really thought the white gold tennis bracelet might make the most sense is helping complete my jewellery wardrobe. Oh. I have nothing to wear on my wrist that goes with the riviera.

Also, Skyqueen, you KNOW the J12 has my heart. I wish somebody would hurry up and get me one as a gift!

P.S. I just realised that while the J12 is a bit more than I want to spend, it's not too far out my budget!!! The tennis bracelet is the cheapest of the three options.

I'm glad you are wearing the cluster studs...I bet they look stunning with your Riviera! Well...that solves the studs problem. Just didn't want them sitting in your jewelry box!
After reading this post, maybe you should consider a WG tennis bracelet. You could wear the YG on one wrist and the WG on the other or together. I match my YG/WG bangles and they look great! You have the basic staples, just adding to complete the look. KWIM? I still like the black J12 option...................
