Diamond tennis bracelet

[sep004]

Where is the best place to get a diamond tennis bracelet these days? I'm looking for something traditional (4 prong but not too squared off) and around 5 ct. total.

Hi Opp, many would say whiteflash got the ACA diamonds. I personally don’t have the budget for it lol.

I would personally go with @Yekutiel from IDJ for the price and quality.

Just my pov

I recently got mine and I’m extremely happy with it! It’s from Whiteflash, ACA, 3 prong setting. It’s beautiful!

Depends on your budget and whether you want ideal cut stones. I wanted to try a small one and not break the bank so I bought one from James Allen during of their holiday sales and like it a lot.

I just wanted to add that I also have a tennis bracelet from JA - I wear it all the time!

I second ID Jewelry. I have a 5 ct three prong and a 3.5 ct four prong from them. And of course you can’t go wrong with WF.

Very pretty - I like them both but the five carat bracelet is especially beautiful! Are those the standard diamonds that he uses in the bracelets?

Mine was made by the bench I use in China, 5cttw, 3mm stones, 7.5in length, H/I and SI/I stones full bezel in 14K WG.

Happy with the lower spec stones as I was assured they would be very white and sparkly and not like frozen spits by my usual contact.

3mm is too small for me to wear it on its own, here is a pic of my current diamond bracelets/bangle worn together for a dressy function.

Thanks! The 5 ctw is standard IDJ (F/G SI1) and the 3.5 ctw is their PS quality (F SI1). I honestly don’t see a difference in performance, but that could be due to the size difference. Or my eyes are just old and bad The 5ctw does flip on its side sometimes, whereas the 3.5 ctw doesn’t. Not sure if that’s due to the difference in stone size or the settings. But for stacking, I like having the different settings to distinguish them.

They are both beautiful and so stack well! Thanks for the info!

You can also try Costco. I have never shopped with them but have seen their tennis bracelet and I liked them a lot. They might have specials before holidays. Prices are unbeatable and so is their return policy.

I have no suggestions, as I’m searching for the same answer. OP I’m wondering what you’ve found in your research as to price ranges? I’ve seen some PSers who literally buy each individual Diamond to put together into a bracelet but I def don’t have the bandwidth for that. On the other hand, I don’t want to get taken at a local jeweler, even though I’d like to support local businesses. It’s a gift I’ve always wanted to ask for from my DH I just don’t know what to budget for a size 6.5” 5 cttw bracelet. My engagement diamond is gorgeous and was recently reset so I can’t see going low quality diamonds (in terms of cut, color and clarity) but other than my ring he’s never splurged again so I have to be realistic, too!

I have diamond bracelets from Whiteflash, Brian Gavin and ID Jewelry. They are all amazing. IDJ is probably the most budget friendly for a tennis bracelet.

I second ID Jewelry. I have a 5 ct three prong and a 3.5 ct four prong from them. And of course you can’t go wrong with WF.

I'm sorry I cant focus because Im so distracted by your ring! Do you have details on your engagement ring? I'm mesmerized!

Does anyone know of a claw prong tennis bracelet?

Thanks! The link to my SMTB post is below. COVID hit shortly thereafter, so the renovation still haven’t begun (fingers crossed for early next year), but I’m so glad I upgraded back then before diamond prices skyrocketed.

Thank you for sharing. I just upgraded myself and found pricing pretty ok right now. Not as amazing as 2020 but. It awful! Yours is just lovely

Hi, looking to get one from those sellers as well, so I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions.
Can you tell the difference with the naked eye?
Can you tell the difference when they sparkle under sunlight?
Is the premium of Brian and WF over IDJ (both 8.5k vs. 6.5k) worth it?

Does anyone know of a claw prong tennis bracelet?

The claw prong is a finishing project by the bench. It can be done with most prongs, but takes time. The biggest draw back would be the tendency of claw prongs to snag, especially on a bracelet.

Hi! I cannot tell any difference between any of them, they all sparkle. The only thing different is that a few of the stones in the IDJ bracelet have Blue fluorescence but that is only noticeable under a uv light. I think it just depends as far as worth it. The flower clasp from BGD was the best value for that as it was custom, same with the WF one.

Thanks for the fast response! I got one last question.
For IDJ did you go with their standard F/G SI1 or their "PS quality" F SI1?

I always ask for PS quality
