I'll bet these will look stunning when aired - J292241-- 40 carats plus of amethyst or blue topaz and 3/4" wide-- not for the shy. I love the cut of the stones.

Wowza---that is one spectacular link bracelet---3/4" wide! Can't wait to see it presented. Unfortunately, not in my discretionary budget.

It's odd, Sheesh. I don't think the Q measurements given online are correct. If all stones in the bracelet (and I counted 12 in it) total a maximum of 40.3 carats, that is only 3.35 carats per stone. How can a square cut stone of only 3.35 carats in weight take up 3/4" of space? I don't think it is possible. Also, if the fit size is 8", how can the actual length be only 7 3/4" long for what looks like a nice, chunky bracelet? Something is off, and needs correction.

It's probably a typo -- I think they meant 3/8".

The bracelet reminds me of these, which are offered in choice of lengths -- J290395.

No, but I was tempted!

I will tell you what I think and what makes sense.

This bracelet will run about 1/8" shorter than the ice cube bracelet.

It will also be 1/4" wide, just like the ice cube bracelet.

The two should be lovely together. Kiss

Shhhhh, BGDC. I am actively trying to resist this one in BT even though it would be a perfect companion for that huge (19 carat) rectangular hunk of BT ring I purchased a couple of shows back (aka J287956) that I am wearing right now.

You are probably correct about the sizing, and also about how great it would look with the ice cube bracelet. {#emotions_dlg.crying}

I figured it out!

If you have this ring (and I do) this (the center stone) will be the width of your stones in the new bracelet. I measured it, and it is 3/4" wide. That is wider than the ice cube bracelet, btw.

JB - I, too, have a blue topaz suite that I would love to add this bracelet into, but no can do.......

80 CTs of Amethyst for $259 vs 40 CT's of Amethyst for $923. Hmmm...Granted the Rose de France color is less saturated but really?
