The thing is, a bracelet with 15-20 pointers is a very, very nice tennis bracelet for almost anyone, and doubling to 40 points is a significant piece. There may be someone here with one, but I don't think I have ever seen one that large. I am with Sharon in thinking that 50 points is almost too much. There is something very elegant about a little line of sparkle on the wrist. I do think her bracelet needs to be larger than mine (10 pointers) simply to be complimentary to her other jewelry. But anywhere between 20-40 pointers would be a very nice bracelet for someone with larger diamond jewelry, in my opinion.
No, I was speaking of excellent/ideal cut stones in the low .40's at G VS2 being under $1000. I'd still personally rather have a bracelet of G VS2 excellent cut in the .40's than SI1 at .50. You are still paying a crazy price jump at .50. If she really desired SI1, then go for the low 40's with SI1 and make it really cheap!
