Victoria Tennis Bracelet

[cupcake34]

Much looser than the Love. Have you tried on a Victoria as-is yet?

No, I haven't tried on one yet. But I know that I will want to have it shortened as loose bracelets annoy me quite a bit. Do you think that it's possible to shorten in and get a close fit?

I'm not sure if they can shorten it. I really don't think I'd want to tinker with a bracelet like that - tennis bracelets have to be set perfectly so they won't break. First try it on and see how it fits. If it's really too big, I'd have one custom made for you with a similar clasp.

Well, I hope they can. Does anyone else know whether this is possible?

Greentea, may I ask you what your wrist size is? How far does the bracelet hang down your wrist?

I can measure for you later - running out the door. I wear a size 17 Love and the Victoria slips down to almost exactly where my hand begins and wrist ends if I hold my arm downward.

Thanks, that would be great!

I'm really worried that the Victoria can't be shortened... I absolutely can't stand loose bracelets on my wrist!

they can definitely shorten this for you, just make sure to ask for the extra diamonds back maybe tiffany can make something for you with the extras?

I'd definitely go for the LOVE over the Victoria-- as mentioned, most reputable jewelers can produce a similar bracelet to the Victoria with specs to equal or better the Tiffany piece for a far lower price. The LOVE is pretty iconic, though, and would be more difficult to reproduce.

If it were me, I'd look into a pre-owned LOVE, and a custom-made tennis bracelet in the exact length to suit you. Best of both words for probably not much more money than a new Victoria alone.

Good news!! Cupcake, my wrist over the wrist bone measures about 15.5 cm

 

[cupcake34]

Thanks for all your answers!

My wrist measures 14 cm (or 5.5) and I would like the bracelet to be 15.5 cm in length. Do you think that this is too tight so that the links are stressed and more likely to break?

Tiffany can advise you about that more than we can. Is there a Tiff near you?

Definitely! Will do that in spring!

I wonder if the marquise clasp of the Victoria always stays in place? Or does it hang at the bottom of the wrist so that you can't see it?

It moves around but will stay for a bit if you move it to the top of your wrist.
