Picture Doesn't Do it Justice, December 31, 2009
This review is from: 16cttw Sterling Silver Red Genuine Garnet Tennis Bracelet 7.5" (Jewelry)
I have a 6 inch wrist and 8 inch ankle, so it is nearly impossible to find bracelets and ankle bracelets that fit. The cost of paying a jeweler to shorten tennis bracelets is usually higher than the cost of the bracelet. (Apparently, they need to remove the stones before they can heat the metal hot enough to remove links.) I have a garnet tennis bracelet set in 14kt gold that cost almost $1000 to buy and shorten. I was leery at the relatively inexpensive cost of this one, but I always wanted a silver tennis bracelet for my garnet collection.
When I got it, I was shocked to see how similar it looked to my gold one. The stones are the rich, deep, maroon-red color of expensive garnets, not the cheaper brownish kind like this photo suggests. Also, the stones are oval like I was hoping. (At the time I posted this, there were photos showing two different bracelets: one with oval stones, one with pear shaped stones.)
My jeweler priced the silver work much less than I expected, so I bought a second bracelet and I had 1 inch of links taken out of the first and added to the second to make a matching bracelet/anklet pair. It turned out great without a color change where the work was done, so the silver is probably natural without any plating.
Don't assume the bracelet will be too big for you just because it was for me. I'm small. This ad says the bracelet is 7.5 inches, which is true when it lies flat. But when it is curved and clasped, the inside circle created is almost exactly 7 inches long, which is standard for most women.
In short, this bracelet is beautiful and looks much more expensive than it is. I'd definitely recommend it!

I got this for my girlfriend for Christmas. It looks much better in real life compared to the picture. However, it was a little bigger than I expected, but she loved it and wears it almost every day.
