My wrist is very tiny, at first I got it with 33 stones. It felt restricted at the wirst so I added 4 more. Now it is super loose. I measured my at the wirst 5.5. So I thought 6.5 is ok...

Original I asked someone here to make the bracelet for me but somehow they did not even want to reply me so I went with the local store. The photo cannot do the justice of the sparkling. It is just for the sizing illustration only... (This one is F color and VS). I really like it but the size is driving me crazy... I’m kind of supersticious so I need to go with 4 x stones plus 1 ( that’s why it was 33 at first... but now 37 is too loose I think) But in the guideline said wrist + 1 inch. Now it is exactly 6.5 inch...

please give me some advices...

Thank you!
 
Tennis bracelets are worn both loose and tight, so it’s a personal preference. Yours looks fine in photos, so you have to decide if you like it. Mine is fairly loose where it slides up and down my arm by quite a bit, but I don’t wear it that often, so it’s no big deal.
 
What a stunning bracelet!!! The length looks fine, because it doesn’t look like it will drop off your wrist. I personally wear mine quite tight because I don’t like the feel of it draping on my hand and I worry I’ll damage it. After safety, it really comes down to personal preference. Have a read of these threads to get a consensus if you are still uncomfortable with the bracelet draping onto the hand

How many fingers can you fit in the gap? I can fit two fingers in mine, but that's my preference.
 
I think it looks lovely but it looks similar in terms of looseness to mine and I'm about to have some diamonds taken out!
 
I have small wrists too. Your bracelet looks too loose to me... but this is all a matter of personal taste. I wear my bracelets more on the snug side. I don't like the feeling of them flying up and down my arm. lol

If it were me, I’d want it tighter, it would annoy me having it resting on my hand, but it’s all about what you want.
 
What a beautiful bracelet!!
Mine is now out for sizing. It was 7.5” +, to start. My wrists are the tiniest part of me these days so I’m having it sized down.
My small bead Tiffany bracelet was my guide and it is 6.5”. I’m thinking that the tennis bracelet will be around 7”. We didn’t want to lose that many stones but we didn’t want it to be so loose that I’d be afraid or uncomfortable wearing it.
Once I start wearing it I’ll see how it goes and I’ll certainly check in with a status update.
I agree with the others in that it is a compromise of comfort, safety, and personal preference.
Please post more pictures.
 
Thank you all. I’ll try one more week to see if i can get used to it. The 33 stones I tried one week before decided to add 4 more. At the end of the week I felt I kind of getting used to it but still went ahead and added the 4. I just feel my poor thing has to be under the knife many times (like surgeries :cry2:)

Here it is how it looks from afar and under the sunshine from SoCal this morning... please pardon my home dress and messy place...

Would be too long for me. I don’t like things almost touching my palm. Others like more movement. Depends on the person. Beautiful. Enjoy!
 
I think it is perfect but I like my bracelets loose. It comes down to personal preference. Beautiful hunky :rolleyes2: size stones and it looks awesome on you!!!
 
I like bracelets loose too, but that looks like it would slither right off your hand with some animated gesticulation :(2
 
as long as you wont rest on it when you put your hand down it should be ok.
It can damage the links if you go to use the palm of your hand and the bracelet is twisted under your palm
 
If it doesn't slip off your hand, it is not too loose. Other than that, length is personal preference. My wrist is about 6" and I wear standard 7" bracelets and would not like them smaller.
 
I think it looks fine on you. I like mine loose as well.
