Tennis Bracelets

The name became popular after a famous tennis match during which the player Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet and asked for play to be stopped so she could find it. After this incident, the flexible bracelet set with a single row of diamonds became known as the “Tennis” bracelet.

There are no strict rules, so a “Tennis” bracelet can be worn on either wrist. Most people choose their non-dominant hand, which is the left for right-handed people and the right for left-handed people. This way the bracelet gets in the way less during everyday activities and knocks against surfaces less often, reducing the risk of scratches and damage to the clasp.

To make the piece stand out more, you can also wear it on your dominant hand. The bracelet can be worn on the opposite wrist to your watch, or paired with it on the same wrist for a layered look.

First, consider the total diamond weight. Bracelets of 0.50–1.50 ct look delicate and are ideal for everyday wear, while models of 3 ct or more are bolder and more noticeable. Note that the stated weight refers to the combined weight of all the diamonds in the bracelet.

You should also choose the gold colour. White gold accentuates the clear sparkle of the diamonds, yellow gold adds classic warm tones, and rose gold looks soft and distinctive. For a more original design, you can choose models with black diamonds or a combination of diamonds and sapphires.

Just as important are a comfortable size, a flexible construction, secure stone settings and a reliable clasp. The bracelet should not pinch the wrist, but it should not be too loose either. Before buying, it is worth checking the item specification, quality certificates, warranty and returns conditions.

The price depends on the total diamond weight, the quality of the diamonds, the amount of gold, the construction and the design. In this collection, 0.50–0.52 ct gold diamond bracelets start from 2 799 Eur, 1–1.50 ct models cost approximately 4 199 to 4 759 Eur, and 3 ct bracelets range from 6 999 to 8 049 Eur. Heavier or more exclusive designs may cost more.

When assessing the price, it is important not to compare the number of carats alone. Two pieces of jewellery with the same total weight can be priced differently because of the diamonds’ colour, clarity and cut quality, the gold fineness and the clasp construction.

A 2 ct “Tennis” bracelet usually looks more delicate, is lighter and pairs comfortably with a watch or other bracelets. A 3 ct model sparkles more, is more visible on the wrist and is perfect as a statement piece.

If both bracelets have a similar length, number of diamonds and construction, the 3 ct model uses larger diamonds. However, the exact size and number of stones depend on the specific design. The price difference is determined not only by the additional total weight, but also by the quality of the diamonds, the amount of gold and the setting method.
