New Brian Gavin Tennis Bracelet

[Musa15]

I do think the setting of the bracelet makes the diamonds appear bigger. I looked at a different setting at a local jeweler and I felt that I needed larger diamonds in that setting to go with my eternity band. Here's another picture from a different angle that I think shows that the diamonds in the eternity band are larger.

This is so helpful! I'm agonizing over a 3 prong tennis bracelet purchase and your pics are so helpful.

I remember being at that spot. It's so hard to decide what size to get. I was wavering between a 6-ctw and a 7-ctw. It was hard because I couldn't find good examples locally of what I would be buying from BGD. The closest setting I found was at Tiffany's and that helped me make a decision.

Whiteflash recently did a short video showing a few different sizes of the 3-prong tennis bracelet that may be helpful:

Thank you! I do wish all of these videos talked about mm size because my bracelet would be very small in length due to my small wrist.

Mine are 3.4 mm. The mm size in the Whiteflash video could be determined by using their website that lists how many diamonds are in a 7-inch bracelet for each tcw.

That is helpful! I'm looking at 3mm and 3.5mm stones for the bracelet! So this is a great reference point.

I haven’t posted for a long time, but wanted to give a shout out to Brian Gavin for the incredible tennis bracelet I just received. It is a 3-prong platinum 6 ctw with 41 14.7-pointers. The workmanship is incredible! His tennis bracelets all include Brian Gavin Signature melee F/G VS, which was important to me. You can see the little arrows with the naked eye. The fire is amazing! They were great to work with, as always.

@shelleydog I just love your tennis bracelet AND ring!! Is your ring platinum also? How has it held up? I'm interested in this design, but my WF representative is steering me towards an open basket style for better durability. I prefer the u-prong look though.

Thanks! Yes, my ring is platinum. It was made by Whiteflash 15 years ago. Whiteflash also told me it wasn’t as durable as the open basket style. I’m grateful they’re will to give that kind of advice. However, I still went with the u-prong knowing that and I haven’t been sorry. I love being able to look at the side and see the full diamond. I’m pretty careful with it and only wear it when I leave the house. When it was a year old, it was slightly out of round, which allowed a couple diamonds to loosen. Whiteflash repaired it for me. Just last month, I had the same problem and had it repaired at a local jeweler after speaking with Whiteflash. The jeweler here talked about that happening by carrying heavy items or some like activity. I could be wrong, but I believe the jeweler was implying that because platinum is more malleable, it’s easier for that to happen. That being said, he said he would have chosen platinum as well for the ring because of platinum’s other great qualities. I would choose the u-prong setting again based on my experience.
