After years of looking at tennis bracelets, this is my year to get one! It was going to be a Christmas present but, since it was finished now and we have three big Christmas parties this weekend, SO said I could have it early :appl:

For the design: I struggled with this part the most. I knew I wanted a bezel-set bracelet (due to snagging/scratching concerns) and a clasp that was integrated into the design (very important to me that the bracelet looked continuous). I plan to wear it 24/7 so I also wanted something that could be dressy or casual. The PS community was awesome again and I was able to find some inspiration that led me to my final design. I decided on .13 diamonds, 7” in length, and the mountings made deep enough so that the culets wouldn’t scratch my arm. Once I had my ducks in a row I reached out to Yekutiel at IDJ and let him take it from there. We ended up using his overseas bench for this for a couple of reasons and I’m thrilled with the results. As always, Yekutiel was awesome to work with and delivered a fabulous product!

Now, on to photos! :kiss2:

I wear my watch on my right wrist, but this gives a perspective view on the size.

Bezels are a great idea.
 
CONGRATS! That is beautiful, and so sparkly:love:! I love how delicate or looks!
 
Ooh I love the bezels with links in between! So unique and wearable. Btw, I spy the corner of a gorgeous ring in one pic! Won’t you please share with us your beautiful e-ring? :appl: (Or did I miss it somewhere lol!)
 
Love your bracelet! Exactly the style I would want, if I were to get one. I have thought about it quite a bit, but no plans to purchase. The clasp is so unique. What a great piece! Hope you love wearing it!
 
Very pretty, I haven’t seen this style before and I really like it.
 
Those diamonds look yummy! Gorgeous!
 
I’m glad you got it early! Enjoy that beauty at your parties!
 
Wow that's gorgeous, I've always wanted something similar with alternating diamonds and coloured stones :)
 
Love the bracelet-- trying to sneak a pic of the ring lol... :love:
 
Beautiful!! Have a Merry Christmas!
 
I :love: the bracelet! It's truly a versatile piece! You can definitely wear it every day and yet it's perfect for formal events! It looks like it's meant to be on your wrist!:appl:
 
Thanks everyone! I'm really loving it and can't wait to wear it to my first party in a couple of hours :mrgreen2:

@MakingTheGrade - Yes, it flips CONSTANTLY! At first I thought it might bother me but I'm getting used to it. We are going to thin the bezels on the bottom though and maybe give them a beveled edge like it is on the top so it won't be as noticeable when it's upside down.

@Bonfire - I'm not going to do a SMTB on my ring because that joy is gone for me, but I don't mind sharing a pic with you here. I had my nails done yesterday for the parties and I adore how the bracelet, ring, and glittery nails all look together :geek2:

Thank you for posting the picture, all of your blingys are magnificent. Congratulations! **your nails are delicious too**
 
Your ring is fantastic-- like a gorgeous present getting revealed/unwrapped. 3 carats is a fabulous size for an asscher :bigsmile:
 
Very nice alternative to a full tennis bracelet.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh @ILikeShiny I LOVEEEEEEEEEE your new bracelet!!! It looks absolutely gorgeous on you - IDJ really knocked it out of the park with those bezels! :love::love::love: And your last picture....swooooooon!! :love::love::love:
