Can I ask if you are still enjoying your bracelets setting? I'm looking for a bracelet, but struggling to find the perfect setting which is sturdy and makes the stones look round without being bezel set.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Rosie, I do still love the bracelet and it is definitely a staple to me. I will go through phases of wearing it for a bunch of weeks and then I take it off and don't wear it for a while. I love it. No regrets at all with this piece, like with my studs.
Have you gone around to try on different settings?

Hi LLJ,
So glad to hear that you are really enjoying your bracelet still! For me this is an item I’ve been looking forwards to owning for a few years now so I’m really excited I have had the pleasure of trying on a few bracelets, and enjoy the look of the gentle outline of the MRB on the bracelet, similar to yours.
I have been told, however by the pricescope vendor I’m using, that similar settings to this can have problems as there is not much support between each link, rendering the bracelet weaker and more likely to break. Settings with ‘sturdier’ looking support on the underside don’t seem to give that beautiful looking outline that I want to achieve. I’ve tried on quite a few more sturdy four prong settings, where the stones end up looking square or a three prong setting where the stone look triangular. These are not to my taste.
As you have been wearing your bracelet for two years now with no problems I doubt this setting will be problematic. Thanks again for all your help and your very informative ‘go-to’ topic!

I don't wear it running or doing high impact cardio. I will wear it doing weights if I forget to take it off. Mine is 14k white gold so it's not very soft. I was more worried about stretching, and I don't think you get that problem with 14. I'm not usually worried about it breaking cause I don't do hard labor or fling it around much. I also wear mine relatively tight, or short, so I don't have problems with it getting hooked to stuff. But I do tend to keep jewelry on if I don't have to take it off. Like I will wear it to sleep, wash dishes, chores around the house. No issues so far. Looking forward to seeing what you get.

Can't wait to see your finished bracelet - you must be excited!!

This single thread makes me recognize what I want for my piece. The stone sizes in real life perspective has been the most useful. And the tip on setting the stones close is something so crucial yet never crossed my mind. This is a must read for anyone who's considering a,tennis bracelet.
