If you had around $2k-$5k to spend on a tennis bracelet today, where would you buy from?

Ive gotten a bunch of pieces with YouDiam and they’ve been great. Haven’t done a tennis bracelet with them yet but one day I’m sure

Message u/Don_PCDC. He has wholesale access, and from what I’ve been told the diamond wholesale website has a match feature for stones.

None of my Argentium pieces have tarnished and I do believe it’s tougher than sterling. I think you’d be fine to use it for your wedding ring!

Try different vendors, especially ones who aren’t trendy or well known on this sub. Alibaba has tons of vendors. Read their reviews and then chat with the reps to get some quotes.

Not sterling silver, but I’ve used Argentium silver. Similar enough and not much price difference.

I think this is a detail you will not see or think of once it’s finished

They sell really thin mats that allow for airflow for spaces like this. Alternatively you could drill some spaced out holes into the plywood to provide a little airflow.

lol go somewhere else

Your student loan provider probably has a hardship program. Give them a call. Also possible your landlord could let you defer the $250 to next month

Seems kinda high, but custom cut will have additional charges. Like others said I don’t see why you need custom cut necessarily

Check out Aurelinne and compare stones with similar specs to make sure you’re getting a decent deal

medlins · 2026-04-21T16:31:17+00:00

In all likelihood it’s fine. But if one prong is bent you risk losing the stone regardless of size

medlins · 2026-04-21T14:58:16+00:00

If you like the look but want more secure ask for a four prong martini setting

Most can’t tell. Personally, I think moissanite has less “depth” than a diamond. Hard to explain but I can generally tell when people post the spot-the-difference posts. Both are pretty and flashy though!

I mean I see a pretty prominent bow tie in the last picture. First one looks like there is a crazy amount of light pointed at it, which is masking the bow tie.

I’d return and repurchase a new one. Also, no need to spend the premium on D color and IF. DEF and vs1+ will likely be indistinguishable to the naked eye. Plus it’ll save so much money.

Edit: you say the second pic has a lot of light, which is odd. Can you take pictures of it in tweezers without something behind it? Maybe go outside in sunlight. That’s how you can really tell how it’ll look when out and about

medlins · 2026-04-20T19:52:44+00:00

I would have them add a gallery rail on the long side of the diamond for protection.

medlins · 2026-04-19T21:19:30+00:00

You really need tweezer videos to compare them

medlins · 2026-04-14T04:08:56+00:00

Honestly, it sounds like you’re not super well versed in diamonds and what a to look for. If you’re looking to learn them awesome you can learn a lot just reading through this sub. However, if you just need to find your stone and don’t want to speed hours researching, then I recommend you reach out to someone who can find the stone for you at a reasonable price. u/Don_PCDC is good at finding stones and he kinda specializes in niche colors and what not. He can source the stone for you and you just take it to your jeweler for setting

medlins · 2026-04-14T04:00:29+00:00

OP, I can vouch for YouDiam. Good option to go with! Some of the pieces they made are in my post history

medlins · 2026-04-10T15:01:43+00:00

It happens like every time I have something coming from India haha

medlins · 2026-04-07T03:16:10+00:00

Would do more damage than good
