CS tennis bracelet—pics, ideas, inspo?

[margauxmines]

Does anyone have a CS tennis bracelet or bangle here?
Over at RockyTalk there are great threads on diamond tennis bracelets—all so so droolworthy!

I was wondering if anyone here has ventured into making a CS tennis bracelet!

I'm in the mood to get a nice pink tennis bracelet done...

However all I'm finding are 2.5mm sapphire & spinel rounds,, I haven't found enough in the 3mm or 4mm range!
With a 17 cm wrist, I suppose that'll be around 3 tcw? Guesstimate since CS would have different weights than diamonds...

Would 2.5 mm be too small for a tennis bracelet?
I'm leaning towards WG for the metal... Maybe I could also insert some diamonds into the mix? Or should I keep it purely CS?
Maybe the classic 4 prong style since I might not get perfect colour matches, they'll like "ombré" to a degree, so the classic 4 prong will help with the continuity and make it look fluid?
What do y'all think?

I poked around IG and found two options for possible stones...

First: 2.5 mm ombré sapphires (50 pcs)

Second: 2.4 mm pink/red spinels (3.5 cts available to purchase)

Inspo from Pinterest...





TIA, PSers!

I am very tempted by a bar-set Princess cut rainbow Sapphire bracelet.

Gorgeous! Great idea. I must admit, I’d try for French cut for a vintage look line bracelet.

Here is an old pic of some of my bracelets. I love a colored stone tennis bracelet. If the color is good they don't need to be huge stones to make a presence.



Here's another that is not in the above pic.

Sapphire and diamond bangle.

I love this idea -- either same hue or ombre. (Literally spelled that with an "h" first before I came to my senses.)

In our "network," there is a gorgeous modern blue sapphire line bracelet (mid-century-ish vibe) in white metal and a three small step-cut pink sapphires alternating with three small RBC diamonds pattern Deco bracelet in platinum. Both are lovely.

Love the idea of a pink spinel or sapphire bracelet. That will be so wearable. These are 2.7mm tsavs. Got this setting to help protect them, and it makes them look bigger so if you can’t find the 3-4mm stones you want maybe a different setting could help? The round diamond next to it is a 3 ct so more carat weight, but looks smaller because of the setting. Good luck!

Me too, so damn tempted to customize a RG tennis bracelet with pink stone to stack with my white diamond one.

Wow your stack! I love the diamond next to your tsavs! Do you mind sharing another photo of your tsavs tennis bracelet? I'm planning on getting my topaz reset into white gold. They're currently in silver. Thanks in advance.

I think 2.5mm would look lovely and dainty. I have 3x5mm oval coloured stones tennis bracelet in rhodium plated silver, they're petite and comfortable. I wouldn't mind if they were smaller.

It helps to throw some diamonds in the mix so that it does not look costume-y, imo:




Unless you can go truly first class like this Art Deco one from Lang (now sold):

Thank you. I‘m traveling and don’t have it with me and will take pics when I’m back home.

I love these emerald line bracelets on eBay. One is Meister and they make amazing stuff. The other appears to be a close look-alike. They are not cheap.

I do not know the seller.
