Tennis bracelets

Do you have any, are you wearing them? I've been wearing mine all week. Think it was one I got at the Q a long time ago. Asscher cut. Forget how it was spelled!!

Thanks below for the proper spelling. I changed it.

I've had many Diamonique ones that I wore 24/7. They just last a year or so and break. I think they twist and turn when you sleep in them and don't last long. The links are held together by the thinest sliver of silver metal which breaks.

I have 6 or 7 with colored gemstones and a 14k Diamonique with which I'm more careful but I never wear them. My taste and lifestyle have changed.

@qualitygal - I think you're talking about the Asscher cut.

I don't have any in that cut, but I have a lot of tennis bracelets. Some DMQ, some gemstones, some costume. I used to wear them a lot, but not so much anymore.

Right now it's winter in New England and I don't wear bracelets (or even necklaces). I won't until the weather warms up and I'm not bundled up in layers of clothing!

(I've never had any break but then, I take my jewelry off at night.)

I have one, a Diamonique. It's a round stone 3.35 ct. set in silver. It is a very believable and very beautiful. I got it on a clearance price. I don't wear if often and as soon as I come in I take it off. Would never sleep in it.

I have a diamond one that I've had for probably 20 years or so. The only time I take it off is to periodically clean it.

Yes and I have worn it for years. Only have a 14K diamond one, none from QVC. First piece I saved for and bought for myself.

I have my Mom's which was real diamonds and 14k. I do wear it but only for special going out. I should wear it more. No point in letting it sit in a drawer! It will be passed down to one of my kids.

I have a very nice one that belonged to my mother. It makes me a bit nervous to wear it so I only do on special occasions. I do have it insured but I don't like wearing expensive jewelry.

Like @Krimpette , I have a 14K & diamond tennis bracelet. It's a signature piece for me and I only remove it maybe once a year to have it professionally cleaned and inspected.

My favorite tennis bracelet to wear is one I got from Hsn yeas ago. It's an Absolute CZ bracelet with bezel-set stones. I love it b/c it never catches on anything...no prongs, all bezels.

I have four of them. One has diamond and emerald stones, the other three are diamond stones only. Two are white gold and two are yellow gold. All are genuine atones.

i used to wear all four together, but haven't worn them for years. I stopped wearing jewelry when I retired.

I have a DMQ, a garnet and a white topaz from the old Silver Style days. I haven't worn them in a long time.I mostly just wear earrings and rings now.

Reading the thread about "paperclip" style of jewelry. I think the time for tennis bracelets has come and gone, kinda like those who think the same about the paperclip style.

I have one real one 18K 2 Ct diamond one. From my husband. He considered the 1 carat one, but that's really very small. I also have 3 or 4 diamoniqe one, but I usually wear the the 37 cut diamonique one. I think it's 6mm. I like it really wide. Sometimes they are too narrow with the stones too small.

Per the tennis vs paper clip. Personally the real tennis bracelet is more classic (because it's so expensive) while the gold layered/silver paperclip going away (thankfully) Getting mighty tired of it. A little too much is thrown at you.

I have a few 14K tennis bracelets. I love them, but don't wear all the time. I never shower or sleep in them and don't wear around the house.

I take good care of all my jewelry and it still looks new.

I have 3, one a stunning bagette diamond, a black spinel and one mixed gemstones. Don't wear them often but did recently wear the diamond and black together with a black and white outfit. They feel too dressy for everyday now. Loved them back in the day.

I have one DH gave me years ago in diamond and 14ky. It has a little rope on each side which I kept having to resolder.

I have a few gemstone tennis bracelets that I love. But since it is winter and wearing long sleeves, I get irritated wearing them. I wear them in warmer weather
