Bracelet Stack - What to Wear with a Tennis Bracelet?

Hi all,

I have a 20 pointer 3 prong tennis bracelet which I never wear, simply due to the fact that I don't think the stones are big enough for me (buyer's remorse) so I don't think it looks blingy enough as a stand alone piece.

I think it could work well if I find another bracelet to stack it with?

I am considering the below:

1. purchasing a 4 prong tennis bracelet of a similar size to stack it with. I am looking for something that is similar to the initial bracelet (so same metal) but also a bit different as well.
2. I tried on the Tiffany t bar bracelet today - please see pic. I liked it, but didn't exactly love it, not sure why. I am reading that the bracelet can bend out of shape over time, does anyone know if there is any truth in that?
3. returning the original bracelet and getting it upgraded, this time with perhaps .30 pointers? I don't know if that will be much of a difference though visually.
4. find another bracelet all together to stack it with, but with what?

Any advice would be great, thanks!

I would see about trading it in. You wanted a bit more length and larger diamonds so I would trade it in on a new one. I think the .20 are nice size for a tennis bracelet and not sure if going up to .30 will scratch the itch. I think you are looking for more wrist space to be taken up and that might only happen with multiple bracelets. At any rate, I would let the tennis bracelet be the anchor to any grouping you choose. Don't let it languish for another minute - call IDJ and see what you can make happen!
 
I agree about asking about an upgrade! I mean seeing it , it looks gorgeous but as someone who prefers larger diamonds I know for me it would always be in the back of my mind.

That said I wear 2 different stacks daily. One is an antique art deco diamond bracelet with the clash de cartier and a "plain" collet set lab diamond tennis bracelet. That is super sparkly, the art deco is smaller diamonds but it's double row thick so it just sparkles a lot. It's a bit over the top and seems more 'fancy'. The other stack is the clash, love and plain tennis, it is my 'daily wear' stack.

I think your bracelet is gorgeous ! I love seeing larger-stone bracelets, and yours looks beautiful on you!
 
Thank you, everyone, this is super helpful.

I have thought about upgrading the bracelet but then I would have to pay a 20 percent restocking fee, which I think would be a bit of a waste, if I'm totally honest.

I am actually now considering having IDJ make a replica of a Tiffany''s Victoria bracelet, see below:

They made the matching necklace for me a few years ago which I love and wear everyday, so it might be nice to have something that matches and I think this bracelet would provide me with enough width for a standalone piece?

I went to my Tiffany's store to try it on but there was none in stock at the moment.
For those of you who have this piece,

1. is it comfortable enough to wear for everyday?
2. are there any ways that I should ask IDJ to customise it? Ie, dainty prongs, less metal, etc?
3. They have offered it for 6k in lab diamonds, is there anything that I need to look out for in regards to lab diamonds, as I have never purchased one before?? From the limited knowledge that I have though, they would look basically identical to real diamonds? Any advice would be really great.

Thank you, all!!
