Tennis Bracelets for Women: Diamond Collection

Looking for a diamond bracelet for women? Want a luxury gift for someone special or yourself? Get a tennis bracelet. Diamond bracelets go from casual to fancy and day to night so they’re a must have in every jewelry box. Read on to learn more about the women’s tennis bracelet – from where it came from and how much to size and styles.

What is a Tennis Bracelet and Why is it Called That?

The tennis bracelet goes back to the 1987 US Open. Professional tennis player and fashion icon Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet during that tournament. Evert asked them to stop the game and search for the bracelet and they did.

The search for the bracelet was televised. Since then everyone has referred to this diamond bracelet as the diamond tennis bracelet. Before that it was just called a “diamond bracelet”. As its former name states, it’s a simple bracelet that shows a line of diamonds.

Tennis Bracelet Sizing

A bracelet’s sizing isn’t as important as ring sizing. If you have very small or large wrists, finding the right size is key. Measure your wrist to find the perfect size for a tennis bracelet.

Add a half inch or one inch to the total measurement of your wrist for the bracelet size. If you’re unsure of a person’s wrist size use 7” to 7.5”

Classic Diamond Bracelet for Women in many styles

Although the tennis bracelet is simple in design you can get it in many styles. When choosing a tennis bracelet you can choose specific attributes like metal color or stone shape. Some have more than one row of stones, others have diamonds in the princess cut.

Tennis bracelets come in different setting styles too. These settings focus on the metal used to hold the diamonds. The metal or link settings are:

• Prong: three or four prongs that hold and secure the stone and allow light to enter the gem
• Channel: thin rows of metal that hold and connect the stones on either side
• Bezel: metal circle mount or bars on either side of the diamonds that hold them together

Metals Used for Tennis Bracelets

The metal links that connect the cut diamonds and other stones are made of high quality material. Most jewelers offer tennis bracelets in:

• 14k gold
• 18k gold
• Platinum
• Sterling silver

When buying tennis bracelets remember there is no “best” metal in general terms. But there may be a tennis bracelet that’s the “best” for you. Now the question is, how do you choose the best metal for your tennis bracelet?

Consider the metal durability first and how often you’ll wear the bracelet. Will you wear it daily or only occasionally? The four metals above are pretty durable. Other good metals for tennis bracelets are rose gold and white gold. Different metals suit different styles and preferences so choose one that fits your taste.

Tennis Bracelet Price

The average price of a diamond tennis bracelet is between 1,000 to 100,000 USD. Since it’s a full circle of diamonds the price of a gold tennis bracelet can be quite high. The quality of diamonds and link settings also affects the price.

For example if your tennis bracelet has more diamonds with higher carat weights it will be more expensive. The diamonds cut, color and clarity will also affect the final bracelet price. People with smaller wrists will need shorter bracelets and fewer diamonds so they get lower prices.

The metal used to link and secure the diamonds in place will also affect the bracelet price. The typical metals used for these bracelets are rose gold, white gold, platinum and yellow gold. For example a tennis bracelet with platinum prongs will be more expensive than white gold or silver prong linked tennis bracelets.

Tips for Buying a Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Think of buying tennis bracelets like buying an engagement ring. Before you buy this sparkling jewelry make sure you know what you want. You can also reframe it as a question, “what kind of tennis bracelet is best for me?”

This is where you start thinking about the size of the diamonds and bracelet. Do you like channel, bezel or pronged settings? What metal color do you want your bracelet to be?

Another thing to remember is the diamond. If you’re buying a bracelet with a warmer color get diamonds with slight tints of yellow. The metal and diamonds will match each other even if the diamonds look colorless to the naked eye. Plus it will be more affordable than getting colorless diamonds.

You can also get a tennis bracelet with other gemstones. For example your tennis bracelet has a row of alternating diamonds and emeralds. Other stones add contrast, color and personality to the piece.
