Judith Ripka Princess Cut "Ice Cube" Tennis Bracelet...Help Please

Hello,

Does anyone know if the Princess Cut "ice cube" Tennis Bracelet that is being sold right now is the same quality as the one many of you purchased in the past? I've read a few reviews where people stated that the quality is not the same. I'd like to treat myself to this bracelet but I am a little turned off by the negative comments about the quality. Any knowledge you have to share with me would be greatly appreciated. Also what size would you recommend for a small wrist? My wrist measures 6 inches across my wrist bones and just under 6 inches behind my wrist bones. Love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for any help you have time to give.

Hi Lindsey!

I can't comment about whether there was a change in quality. I have a small original one, and think a size small will work for you. My wrist is just under 6-3/8 inches and I like the way the small fits and drapes. It slides below my wrist bone when my arm is down and slides about 2.5 inches above my wrist bone when my arm is up, if that makes sense. Of course, each person has their own preference on fit, etc.

Hi Lindsey!

IF the bracelet is the same, and I don't know if it is, I can advise you on the sizing. I have a 6" wrist and actually the small is a PERFECT fit. There is a little drape for movement with it even. Get the small. I hope it's the same bracelet because it is perfection. enjoy!

Hi Lindsey, I bought my ice cube bracelet a few months ago. I had to buy the large for my wrist which is my normal size. As for the quality, mine is absolutely beautiful. If I were you, I'd at least get it home to look at it myself. The reviews online always vary greatly in my opinion. I tend to get something home to look at it myself. To see if I like it.

Please let us know what you decide.

Take care

LINDSEYTAYLOR: Hi. My wrist is 6 inches and I got the small and it fits great, any bigger would be too much drape for me. I got this beauty {#emotions_dlg.tt1}{#emotions_dlg.tt1} when it first came out and it is superb quality. I wear it often. Sorry I can not comment on the cube bracelets being sold now. Get it, and if you don't like it, send it back. I have had lots of issues with the quality of her pieces in the past few years and had to send many of the Ripka pieces back due to poor quality. Good luck! Let us know if you are getting it.

Lindsey, if you want me to put up a pic of mine (the original) for comparison, let me know. If you have to wait until July 7, I think it must be the original.

What the heck - I'll put up pic now for you. Hold on..............

Sorry it's small, but at least you can see what it was. Hope you get it. It's a great one. Soooo handy for stacking, and so special on its own. Would anyone think it's real???? Don't really know - don't try to pass it off as. It's just really a knockout.

Hi Lindsey Taylor, Welcome to the forum. I have the ice cube bracelet and love mine. I did buy it a while ago, but I would like to believe that the quality has not changed. Cannot wait until you get yours. Please let us know about the one you receive. I think that you will be very happy since it is such a gorgeous piece of jewelry. BTW I have a 6 1/4 inch wrist and wear the average size, with your 6 inch wrist the small will be perfect. Enjoy.
