I really think the tennis bracelet look is dated.

I don't think a DMQ tennis bracelet is the kind of thing you'd want in the "stretch" variety.

I like it, too! Love that it has no clasp. Many times I don't wear my bracelets because I don't want to fiddle with the clasps to get them on and off. But with this one, that would not be a problem for sure and I would probably be reaching for it more than the others. It's a timeless classic that will never go out of style.

FYI

the stretch is SSteel not elastic

I went to my jewelry box and just found at least 2 CZ bracelets I haven't worn in years, and that doesn't count my real one.

so maybe I don't need that BD today?

If it was offered in the black rhodium version then I would be all over it. But for now, I really don't need another tennis-style bracelet.

The tennis bracelet will never go out of style. It's a classic, and can be worn with any outfit.

That said, I want my tennis bracelets to have a double safety clasp and look for all purposes to be fashioned just like a real diamond tennis bracelet.

I guess I'm old and set in my ways but I'm not into some of these new bracelets. I purchased one of the sterling adjustable bracelets, (no stones) with the little silicone filled bead --- not liking it. I tried, I don't like it. I don't like the way it looks, it's not easier for me to put on and the ball gets caught in places it shouldn't.

I don't think I would like this Big Deal either. QVC brags about the quality of those stones, yet they put it together like costume jewelry.

Not fooling me, I'll pass.

My very old DMQ jewelry set in 14k is still stunning.

I think it looks like it sits up too high. There's a tall base to hide the steel stretch part. But, if they had it in black rhodium I'd try it. The last DMQ bracelet I bought in black rhodium the clasp was stuck closed and I couldn't even try it on. Another looked like black paint, so I don't have one yet. Maybe that metal is going out of style now?

I'd skip this type of bracelet "as is" as it could get really stretched out and passed off to the next. Erin said not to stretch too much and gave an example of a stretched out Slinky not working anymore. I myself quit buying "as is", getting one tight sleeve (that should have been a reject), earrings missing a stone, and dirty shoes.

@jackthebear Thanks for that info!

I like it and am trying the silver. To me, it hangs more like a bangle than the fluidity of a classic tennis bracelet. Would have liked black, too, like the other poster, but I'm going to give it a whirl.

I gave it a whirl and purchased both the silver and rose gold. I purchased the large size and it fits okay with a little drape. One is nice but two even better!! Would order the gold one but currently on waitlist, if they restock will order then. I don't think people are going to examine so close on a persons wrist to notice there is no clasp. I like it because I'm getting to age where I no longer want to be bothered with this type of typical Tennis bracelet clasp plus worrying about a possible loss of the bracelet. It is a little snug going over my hand but I try not to stretch too much and just ease it on. I don't post product reviews anymore because capability is no longer available from my iPhone.

To me, the idea of Diamonique or any CZ is to duplicate a real diamond item.

I’m not aware of any high end diamond bracelets done in a stretch style...elastic or otherwise.
