Mine is intentionally delicate looking, as I have 6" wrists and a very large net worth. IMO, larger carat diamonds look pretty fake, especially when one has to work for them.

Anything less than 14 carats is for trailer parks. And you'd only wear that trinket during the day of course. After dark, 25 ct or stay home, you peasant.

You're living in the past. You can get a 7 ct tennis bracelet for ~$3k these days.


Interesting. I’m the PP and am mid 30s. Didn’t know this unless you’re talking about lab diamonds.

To be fair, any conversation about a tennis bracelet is living in the past.


It never ceases to amaze me how many people comment in the fashion forum who have zero idea about current trends. Tennis bracelets and necklaces are very much on trend now.

What’s the stereotype of someone who wears a tennis bracelet of this ct weight every day? I’m not clear on why you’d want to do this or why people are snarking on OP.

Even cheaper by going with fake diamonds. You’re living in the past if you’re still buy real diamonds.

Considering a tennis bracelet to incorporate as part of my everyday "uniform". I'm a mom of 2 and have an office job, so my time is split between computer work and running around the playground / other kid activities.

What size would you recommend and why?
