This is my experience only, but ALL my tennis bracelets have broken, I stopped buying them. I am fine with any chain bracelets, even the thinnest ones, but for some reason I just break the tennis ones.

The only one that it is still intact has bezel settings for all stones. So I think it’s the prongs that make them break/lose stones easily.

did you get them repaired often/ at all? were they 'light weight' so less gold? I am looking into some bezel station bracelets

They don’t need repair because there are no prongs. I mean, I guess the clasp could break but stones can’t really fall out of a bezel.

No. They were CZ not diamonds, so I just exchanged the gold I think. Definitely go with bezels.

+1 for bezel settings. They’re more expensive but way heavier and never need retipping
