TENNIS BRACELETS

There are many types of tennis bracelets today. The metals, diamond carat sizes and shapes may vary, but there are commonalities in every diamond tennis bracelet. Depending on their shape and size, the individual diamonds in the bracelet are set in prongs, channel set, or occasionally bezel settings. In between each mounted diamond are flexible metal links that move with the wrist. These links give the bracelet its fluid movement and flexibility for ultimate comfort.

Owning a tennis bracelet may be a special piece for many collectors. On its own, wearing a diamond tennis bracelet shows its wearer to be a stylish but understated jewelry fan. These bracelets are inconspicuous while showing good taste and a confident style. They can become a signature piece for the wearer who may forget she’s wearing it since its so comfortable. This classic jewelry item has also become the ideal gift to mark wonderful milestones, like graduation, anniversaries, a new baby and more!

On average, a 7 ¼ inch diamond tennis bracelet may have approximately 55 individual diamonds. Since there are many factors that go into the construction of the tennis bracelet, that number will vary.

For instance, a small or large wrist will change the length (and diamond count) of the bracelet. The individual diamond carat size in each link will affect the total length of the diamond bracelet as well. Individual large carat diamonds in each link mean less diamonds, while smaller sized diamonds will require more to create the right length.
