Paintbrush, enjoy your new tennis bracelet! I can only imagine how it sparkles. I have the ice cube tennis bracelet in silver and that sparkles like crazy. If this one is comparable, and it sounds like it is, sparkle on!

I hope all of you enjoy your new bling in great health!! I jumped on board as well as I had been drooling over the square link tennis JR has up for sale for a good $125 more! I love the lines of the square bracelet but I thought it would just be too big, and I love the round stones and smaller profile of the TSV.

Thanks to everyone posting with their opinions of the piece as to how sturdy, how it looks, etc.

I can't wait. My last JR purchase was the rolling necklace and I think this piece will compliment it beautifully. *Fist Pump*

I thought about it. But I can't justify the price. It's just silver. How thoughtful of them to cover it with Rhodium. So that is tiny bit of value. The diamonique doesn't count for anything. Even dead diamonds have better value. Besides that other bracelet (the one they call ice cube) is much better in appearance and princess cut. (and costs even more!!!)

I have only one Ripka, that burnished bead bracelet which is still amazing. I have to admit I love it. But I have a real tennis bracelet. They're tiny diamonds, but it in real solid 18K white gold. On the other hand, I have to keep it in a box at the bank. So afraid am I of losing it. Gr..... I hate it! It's really an attractive piece of jewelry . So if anyone is thinking about...what the heck. Buy it and wear it in good health.

I ordered it as soon as I got the advance TSV E Mail. It says ""in process"". I got the clad in the 7 1/4. I already have the Ice Cube in silver so have been wanting a yellow gold. It will match my other clad Ripka Bracelets. I was hoping it would arrive in time for a party tomorrow night but no such luck.

I agree, the pricing makes my mouth go dry.... but.... If a person doesn't go crazy and buys what they love, maybe get it on easy pay, they end up with a beautiful piece of jewelry that should last a lifetime. We are also "paying for" the Ripka name. We all know this... and it's all part of the hype. But I'd rather fall in love with a piece, pay the price and just enjoy it to heck! I don't do this very often so it's quite exciting.... {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

When I saw it shown several times it looked to me as though it was not laying smoothly and bending at the link connection; therefore, it could easily snap. Other than that, I find it a tad gaudy and overpriced.
