When choosing a diamond tennis bracelet for a Christmas gift, there are some effortless ways to make that choice. You can consider who the bracelet will be given to gender, age, etc., the type of jewellery that person normally wears, and finally the budget you have for the purchase. The wonderful thing about giving a tennis bracelet as a present is that it immediately feels like something special; it is even more special when the person opens it and realises how much time and thought went into finding the perfect gift. We at Divour Diamonds, located in Hatton Garden, assist people with making decisions such as those described above during the holiday season. Therefore, we developed this guide to help you find out exactly what you need to consider.
Think About Who Will Wear the Diamond Tennis Bracelet
Imagine the person wearing the stone or setting before you even look at them. Do they prefer small, dainty jewellery, or do they like larger, more noticeable pieces? For example, if someone wears a watch daily, then a women's tennis bracelet with a thin width would be a good choice; however, if someone prefers a larger, more eye-catching wrist, then a wider band would be a better option. In addition, it would be beneficial to pay attention to which type of metal they use for their current jewellery because a gift that complements their current jewellery will most likely be worn more frequently.
Pick the Right Diamond Shape for a Tennis Bracelet
The classic style for a tennis bracelet is a series of round diamonds that create a continuous shimmer from one end of the bracelet to the other. To add a bit of variety to this traditional design, consider an emerald-cut tennis bracelet. Emerald-cut diamonds feature long step-cuts, creating a clean, glassy appearance. Asscher-cut tennis bracelets offer a similar retro look, but with slightly square-shaped corners. Princess-cut diamond bracelets provide a much sharper and more modern line than either round or emerald-cut bracelets. As each of these cuts will give the bracelet a different character, try to determine whether your recipient prefers a classic or contemporary design.
Claw Set Tennis Bracelet or Bezel Bracelet for Daily Wear
The type of setting can affect both the appearance and usability of the tennis bracelet. In a claw-set tennis bracelet, each individual stone is raised slightly above the base metal; this design allows maximum light to enter each diamond and therefore appears to increase the brilliance of each one. On the other hand, in a bezel-set tennis bracelet, each individual stone is surrounded by a thin layer of metal that encircles each diamond; this provides a smoother feel to the wearer's wrist while also offering protection for each diamond when the bracelet is worn frequently. If the person who will be receiving the tennis bracelet is an active individual or performs tasks with their hands, then a more protective setting would probably be the most suitable option. Conversely, if the recipient plans on wearing their tennis bracelet primarily for special occasions and events where they are going to dress up, then a claw setting would likely display the maximum amount of brilliance from each diamond.
White Gold, Platinum or Yellow Gold Diamond Bracelets
The type of metal used to create the gift significantly affects its overall appearance. White gold and platinum will allow the diamonds in the tennis bracelet to appear brighter and cooler. Platinum is naturally durable as well as hypoallergenic; therefore, it is well suited for individuals with sensitive skin. Tennis bracelets made from yellow gold will provide a warmer appearance, and they are especially appealing to individuals who already use yellow gold. On the other hand, tennis bracelets made from rose gold will create a softer, more romantic appearance. If you are seeking an affordable alternative to a traditional gold tennis bracelet, then a 9k gold bracelet may be a viable option for you.
Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet or Natural Diamonds
The most important choice to make here will be based on what you believe is important. While natural diamonds have value because they are rare, a lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet has a similar appearance to the eye and is crafted using the same cutting specifications. Due to the lower cost of lab-grown diamonds, you can typically purchase a larger total carat weight lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet for the same price as a smaller natural diamond tennis bracelet. Both options are correct choices; therefore, it is simply a matter of selecting the option that best suits the individual you are purchasing the item for.
Getting the Size Right on a Women’s Tennis Bracelet
The problem with a tennis bracelet that is too loose is that it will slip up and down and can easily get caught on clothing. On the other hand, if a tennis bracelet is too tight, then it will feel uncomfortable. Most tennis bracelets should fit snugly but with enough room to allow for some movement. One of the best ways to determine the correct size for a tennis bracelet is to measure a tennis bracelet that the person currently wears. Another option is to wrap a soft measuring tape around the person's wrist, and then add a small amount of extra length. To protect your surprise when giving a gift of a tennis bracelet, consider asking a friend or family member to assist in determining the correct size. When selecting a tennis bracelet, choose one that features a reliable clasp, along with a safety catch to prevent the bracelet from falling off.
Presenting and Caring for a Tennis Bracelet Gift
Christmas presents are more enjoyable if they look appealing when given. For example, select a bracelet in a lovely box that includes a care card. Consider writing a hand-written note on top of this gift. In addition to a lovely presentation, proper care of your new bracelet will ensure that it lasts for many years. Gently clean the bracelet with a soft cloth. Store the bracelet separately from other jewellery. Have the clasp of the bracelet checked periodically to ensure that the diamonds remain securely attached to it and continue to sparkle.
Final Thoughts on Choosing Well
The best choice is rarely the most expensive one, it’s the one that fits the person’s style, comfort and daily life. If you think about shape, setting, metal and size in that order, the decision becomes much clearer. Browse the diamond tennis bracelet collection at Divour Diamonds, and take your time until you find the one that feels like a perfect fit for the person opening it.
