Natural or Lab Grown Diamond Bracelets

Both are actual diamonds, and lord knows they look the same to the naked eye. Natural stones are what bestow rarity and tradition. Generally, Lab grown ones provide more total carat weight within your budget. Neither choice is wrong. Consider what she would most appreciate and what is in your budget. They crisscross the tennis bracelets in our collection so you can see them both next to each other.

Choosing the Right Setting for a Diamond Tennis Bracelet

The setting changes how the bracelet looks and feels on the wrist.

Claw set: Small metal claws grip each diamond. That way, light from all sides comes through. Hence it sparkles the most. It is the classic choice.
Bezel set: Each stone is surrounded by a very thin metal rim. It is smooth against the skin and not as easily snagged on clothing perfect for someone who leads a busy or active lifestyle.
Channel set: In this setting, the diamonds are held in place side by side within a groove without any claw between them. The look is sleek and modern.

With uncertainty in mind, the claw set is undoubtedly the best option for a first tennis bracelet.

Carat Weight and Diamond Quality

Try to find diamonds that have a similar cut, colour, clarity and size. This is what gives the bracelet its clean, straight line. The total carat weight provides an insight into the amount of diamond in the entire bracelet, and not each individual stone. In other words, two bracelets with different total weights are not a fair comparison. If you had to choose, get a good cut first. One poor cut stone sparkles less than one which is bigger, but a perfectly cut stone will sparkle more even though it might be smaller.

Picking the Metal and Getting the Size Right

White gold and platinum make a cool, bright appearance. Yellow gold has a warm and traditional feel. Glamorous deep reds and bright corals are always popular, but don't forget about soft blush pinks for a more romantic look and Rose gold. The simplest method is to see what she wears, 1 or 2 shades of match.

For size, you should be able to fit a finger between the bracelet and her wrist. If you maintain the secret, have a look at an existing watch or bracelet she wears, otherwise ask an achievement friend. Do examine our returns and sizing ahead of placing another order.

Diamond Tennis Bracelets for Every Budget

Entry level: Smaller stones in a light setting make a lovely first diamond gift.
