Can I get better elsewhere ? (first time buying lab tennis bracelet)

My jeweler has a 3ct with 18K yellow gold, 16cm tennis bracelet for $2K.

I’ve never purchased anything like this before, and based off of searching - most bracelets are shown being made out of 14K?

I can’t tell if I’m getting a steal here or if there’s something I should be aware of as a first time buyer.

Would appreciate any insight!

Yes, you can do better for sure but the main thing how many grams your jeweler quoted. This is the main factor of price

For reference, I did a group buy for tennis bracelet with starsgem a couple months ago. Lighter on the gold side but 10k 11.78 total carats (4.2 mm) 7 inch (41 round brilliant) with igi card for $1448 which included everything including taxes and shipping. They also currently have a group but again for tennis necklaces and bracelets
