@Kitty Galore Mine arrived at my local PO today so hopefully I'll have it tomorrow.

I can't believe I ordered it, having sworn off JR jewelry because its quality had gone so downhil. I'm really hoping I'll like it.

REVIEW

@Kitty Galore OK here goes. There is good and not so good and I'm on the fence about keeping it.

First off, I'm glad I remembered the video of how to get it open; otherwise I'd never figure it out. There is a safety bar on its bottom which you unclasp from the side. You have to do that first and it's rather difficult to do. Then you slide out the insert slide catch which is also pretty hard to do (I found it esp. hard to move that insert clasp to take off the bracelet). It's good that both the insert clasp and safety clasp are tight so they are quite secure; bad in that it's hard to get into and harder to take off!

That wasn't even the first major downer though. The Diaq. stones are so tiny that there is no sparkle indoors. There was very nice sparkle outside in the sunlight but indoors it's hard to even tell there is Diamonique in it and therefore, no sparkle. That was very disappointing although, again, it's pretty in the sunlight. The letters are very distinct but not "in your face" so I like very much how the lettering and small hearts are done - it's very pretty. I'm really not liking how little sparkle there is.

The other bad thing - I have a small wrist. In fact when a QVC watch has several links that can be removed, I remove them and wear it on the smallest length possible, the 6.75. I ordered this bracelet in 7.25 and it just fits! There is a very little bit of drape but not a lot on my small wrist. I didn't measure it to make sure it's 7.25 but wow - it's on the very small side of 7.25. My first thought was wishing I'd gottent the 8" for more drape, and I don't wear an 8" bracelet! But it'll work; it would just be a bracelet with not as much drape. It isn't too tight or anything and I certainly don't have difficulty closing it around my wrist. Just very little drape. I don't mind that as much as the very little sparkle feature.

So I like it - don't love it - and it has drawbacks, at least for me. Not sure whether I'll keep it or not. I basically like it but wish it was longer and had more sparkle.

@Pearlee. First of all thank you for the review . Ya no I wondered about the sparkle cause when viewing it I didn't feel I saw much sparkle at ll , but was thinking it was the lightening. That is dissapointing and a reSon for me not to keep it. I actually jumped the gu. And ordered it , now after your review I feel it will most likely go back. Aldo I ordered the small as I alwYs do with any cuff or bracelet , so it may not even fit as you ordered the 71:4 and you feel it's a bit on the small side. My wrist measures 6 3/4. It dosent sound like you are loving it, and from your review I'm thinking I won't either. Will wait and see when it arrives to decide , but if I don't love it back it goes. I have kept jewelry in the past I didn't love and I never wear it, so nit worth it .

again thanks so much for the review appreciate it

@Kitty Galore you are welcome.

I hope I didn't put the kabosh on it for you. Perhaps it's better not to read any reviews until you judge it for yourself so as not to be influenced or have any other expectations other than your own from seeing it on air or on the 'net.

Again, I hope I haven't spoiled it for you. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with it. But you are right - for that money we have to love it. I'm going to wear it again today and try to decide.

I'll be interested to read what you think after you try yours on.

@Pearlee. Oh it's fine really, I had. Y reservations even when I ordered it, but thought , well if I do t love it I will send it back. It kept bothering me that it didn't have that sparkle when I kept looking at it as I did DVR the presentation. I was hoping I was wrong and in person it would soarkle. It isn't a hefty diamonique weight , which I like so etimes as it looks real . No sparkle though is not ok. I will let you know my thoughts once it arrives. Maybe you will feel different once you wear it a few times.

Mine just arrived and I came here to see if I was not alone in being on the fence about keeping it. I see I am not! I don't buy anywhere near the amount of JR as I used to due to a real change in the quality from years ago and the steep prices. This bracelet is lightweight just as I was afraid of! The diamonique stones are tiny. I've also found many of my pieces are missing stones after limited wear so I'm Leary of the diamonique. Not sure it's a keeper. 😩

@Kitty Galore The bracelets are of lighter weight. The YG is heavier and has a chunkier feel due to the clad. I am getting sparkle from direct and indirect light. Will wear out today and decide. Excuse my paws as I have been cleaning....and it shows

@MickD. Wow! Your bracelets just sparkle like crazy !!! They look so awesome together ! I sure hope the bracelet I get sparkles like these. Your countertop is very pretty, thanks for posting photo.

@Kitty Galore oh, thanks regarding the counter top! I am going to wear the bracelets this evening.....I was NOT feelin them yesterday.....good luck with your bracelet and post a review when you get it!

Re: JR Love Tennis Bracelet

Pearlee — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 22:49:42 GMT

@Kitty Galore IMO @MickD 's bracelets are sparkling where the light is hitting them but not otherwise. That's what I think about mine! In the sunlight - great. Indoors during the daytime, little-to-no sparkle!

Re: JR Love Tennis Bracelet

MickD — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 22:52:49 GMT

@Pearlee well I shall see what they look like when I go out to dinner tonight......I won't keep em if they don't wow me!

@Pearlee yes I do see that., does seem as though the stones not in the

Light are not as sparkley. This seems to be a bracelet no one can just say I Love It !! I am anxious to get mine and see it in person in all lights.

@MickD So what did you think of your bracelets after wearing them out to dinner? Keep or return or undecided?

Re: JR Love Tennis Bracelet

MickD — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 21:09:09 GMT

@Pearlee I am going to keep them. I love the message and sparkle. Last night we were sitting in a dark booth at the back of the restaurant with just dim lighting and no direct sunlight. Asked DH if he thought they sparkled enough and he said yes. They are a lighter weight but very playful looking.....

I ordered the sterling silver but received the yellow clad .

It is beautiful - delicate but defiantly "enough " and sparkles indoors and out.

It is very believable and will be great as an every day stand alone piece or stacked up with other bracelets . I went on the waitlist for the sterling ( The six and three-quarter inch is sold out ) because I think I'll get more wear out of it in white but Will be hard to return the yellow !!
