It's going to be tiny diamonds. A YG tennis bracelet with 2.00 carats or maybe 2.31 to be exact, carats. Nothing like some of the 5 carat ones I see here on TPF :smile: But it is a big purchase for me as I've always wanted a tennis bracelet my whole life and have never gotten one.

I don't think it's too tiny. I also have a 2 ctw tennis bracelet (but in WG) and think it is great. I too have always wanted one my whole life, so I know how you feel.
 
Stunning. Do you have a pic of the ring from the front?
Looks like a work of art.

Unfortunately no. It's just a working template for now. I was looking at ring designs with my girlfriend for a little while and she seemed to like this particular design theme. The picture is from googling "leaf engagement rings".

I'll be working on making a design inspired from this piece, since the prongs on this one seem a little massive versus the claw prongs that many other designers use.

In addition, she's not a fan of large solitaires so I was thinking of maybe using small pear shaped diamonds to make up a flower. The main issue I'm encountering is weighing artistic flourish against durability.

The ring in the photo is in 14k rg with white sapphires. However she's a fan of green stones and white metals so I'm thinking of using platinum and possibly green sapphires since emeralds are so delicate.

That sounds like it will be gorgeous and so unique!

Good call on the green sapphires. Emeralds are so hard to take care of. Probably best as earrings or necklace/pendant. Sapphires are so much hardier.
 
I am looking to buy four pieces but have no idea what! My uncle passed away and I would like my mother, my 2 daughter and myself to have a piece of jewelry to remember him by. Maybe because I am looking for 4 pieces, I am all over the place!

Maybe diamond heart pendants for girls and me? For mom, maybe a DBTY bracelet so she can wear it always. (She is getting older and I have to help her with necklaces and putting on earrings. Her rings are now falling off, so a bracelet sounds like a good idea.)

I can see that you're under a lot of pressure trying to find the perfect gifts by which to remember your dear uncle. Maybe take some time and look at lots of things in person and see what speaks to you. For me, looking and trying things on in real life is so much different than trying to buy jewelry over the internet. Some things I thought I loved online are not what I thought when I saw them in the store.

When you say diamond heart pendant, do you mean diamond heart solitaire or diamond open heart? Both sound nice. And a bracelet that you don't have to take off for your mom sounds very thoughtful, too.
