Diamond Tennis Bracelets

A diamond tennis bracelet is a flexible bracelet made of a continuous line of individually set diamonds of equal size. It gets its name from a bracelet that fell off a tennis player during a match in 1987, after which the style became known as the tennis bracelet. The look is defined by total carat weight, diamond shape, setting and metal.

Most people choose between 2 and 5 carats. About 2 to 3 carats is delicate and suits daily wear. 4 to 5 carats is the classic size, with stones that clearly read as diamonds. From 6 to 10 carats the bracelet becomes a statement, and above that it is a major piece. Carat weight is the total of all stones, so a longer wrist uses more stones for the same size of diamond.

Yes, when well made. Choose a secure clasp with a safety catch and a setting that suits your day: crown and bezel settings snag less than open claws. Take the bracelet off for the gym, swimming and heavy manual tasks, and have the claws checked once a year. Gold in 9K is the hardest wearing option for everyday use.

A tennis bracelet is flexible: individual links hinge so the bracelet drapes around the wrist and closes with a clasp. A bangle is a rigid or semi-rigid band that slips over the hand or opens on a hinge. Bangles have a more structured, sculptural look and fewer moving parts, while tennis bracelets show more diamonds. Compare them in our diamond bangles collection.

Generally yes. The number of stones is set by the length of the bracelet, so more carat weight means larger stones rather than more of them. A 3 carat bracelet may have stones of about 2.5 millimetres, while a 10 carat bracelet has stones around 4 millimetres. Larger stones make the bracelet taller and heavier on the wrist, which is worth trying on.

Classic means round brilliants in a straight line in white gold or platinum, a style that is timeless and goes with everything. Contemporary designs use oval, emerald or marquise stones, east-west settings, bezels, or yellow and rose gold for a more individual look. If you want a bracelet to wear for decades, start with a classic round design; if you want something distinctive, choose the shape you love.

The difference is origin. Natural diamonds formed in the earth and are mined. Lab-grown diamonds are created in a laboratory and have the same crystal structure, hardness and sparkle. The practical difference is price: lab-grown stones usually allow more carat weight or higher grades for the same budget. Many designs here come in both, so you can compare them on one product page.

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds and rank 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, exactly like natural diamonds. They resist scratching and everyday wear equally. For a bracelet, durability is determined as much by the metal, the setting and the clasp as by the stones, so choose a setting that suits how you live.

D is the highest colour grade, completely colourless. VVS means very, very slightly included and VS very slightly included: inclusions that are not visible to the eye. Many of our lab-grown bracelets use D colour with VVS to VS stones. Such grades keep the bracelet bright and white against white metal. The grades are shown on each product page.

No. A bracelet can hold 35 to 45 small diamonds and laboratories report on individual stones or, for some jewellery, on the piece as a whole. Where a bracelet is sold with a report, the product page names the lab and number. GIA grades our natural diamonds and IGI grades our lab-grown diamonds. If a certificate matters to you, ask before ordering.

Stones for one bracelet are chosen to look consistent: the same colour, size and sparkle, so the bracelet reads as a single continuous line rather than a row of separate diamonds. Your bracelet is designed and finished in our London workshop, and pieces are cut and set by our team.

Round brilliants give the most sparkle and are the classic choice. Oval stones create a longer, softer line. Emerald cuts and baguettes have broad flat facets that give a cooler, glassier look. Marquise and pear shapes add movement. If you are unsure, choose round for versatility or try each shape on at our showroom. Filter the page above or try each shape on at our showroom.

Wrap a strip of paper or a soft tape around your wrist just above the wrist bone. Mark where it overlaps and measure the length against a ruler. Add about 0.5 inch for a close fit or 1 inch for a looser fit. Measure at the end of the day, when wrists are slightly larger, and measure twice. Our size guide above explains how to choose between 6.5, 7 and 7.5 inches.

A tennis bracelet should sit close enough not to slide over your hand, yet loose enough to move slightly and rotate on the wrist. If it sits too tight, links pinch and stones face the wrong way. If it is too loose, the bracelet slides, catches on things and the diamonds tilt away from the light. About half an inch of room is a good starting point.

Yes. Most tennis bracelets on this page are offered in 6.5, 7 and 7.5 inch lengths, selectable on the product page. For another length, send us your wrist measurement through our enquiry form and we will confirm whether it can be made, and the price and timing, before you commit. Bespoke lengths cannot be returned.

Both are excellent. Platinum is naturally white, dense, hypoallergenic and holds claws very securely, but it is heavier and more expensive. 18K gold has a richer colour and is lighter. 9K gold is the hardest and the most affordable. White gold and platinum look similar, so choose by weight, budget and skin sensitivity. All our precious metal is hallmarked in London.

Look for a box clasp secured by a safety catch or figure-of-eight safety clip, so the bracelet stays closed if the clasp is knocked. If you have a preference, such as a hidden clasp or a double safety, mention it in an enquiry and we will tell you what can be done on a made-to-order piece.

Usually yes, by removing or adding links, though stones and settings must match the existing line. Resizing is a specialist job, so bring the bracelet to our London workshop. Note that bespoke and made-to-order bracelets cannot be returned, and a resized piece cannot be returned for a refund, so confirm the wrist size before ordering.

Price rises with carat weight, diamond quality and metal. A 3 carat bracelet in 9K gold is our entry point, 5 carat designs sit above it, and 10 carats and over are priced accordingly, with natural diamonds and platinum costing more than lab-grown stones and gold at the same size. The price on each product page is shown in your local currency and includes taxes where they apply. For a specific carat weight, length or metal, ask for a written quotation.

Lab-grown bracelets are usually considerably less per carat than natural ones of comparable quality, so the same budget often buys more carat weight or a higher grade. Natural diamonds hold the rarity and origin that some buyers prefer. Many bracelets on this page offer both on the same product page, so you can see the difference in price directly.

Yes. We hold over 250 tennis bracelets in stock at our showroom at 34 Greville Street, Hatton Garden, so you can try on different carat weights, shapes and metals. Stock changes, so book through our booking page and tell us what you would like to see.

Yes. Ready-to-ship bracelets are already made, finished and hallmarked, so they skip the time at the bench. They still go through final checks and secure packing, so allow a few days for dispatch.

We are a third-generation jewellery house that sources diamonds through the trade and makes its own jewellery in London. You get a clear specification, a showroom you can visit, any design made to order in about three to four weeks, and free cleaning, checks and servicing for as long as you own it. We stay in touch with returning customers and always offer them our best value. Buying direct means you pay for the bracelet, not for layers of retail.

Buying diamonds through the trade and selling direct removes steps between the stone and the customer, such as separate wholesalers and retail groups, each of which adds margin. The result is more diamond, or a higher grade, for the same budget. Our diamond team also sources from suppliers with among the lowest carbon emissions in the world, and we are targeting net zero by 2030. We cannot promise the lowest price, so compare grade for grade.

Yes. We can make and deliver any design in any wrist size, carat weight and metal, including 9K, 10K, 14K, 18K gold and platinum, typically in three to four weeks. Tell us your wrist size, preferred total carat weight, diamond shape, metal and setting, and we will give you a written quotation with timing before you commit. Made-to-order and bespoke pieces cannot be returned, so we agree every detail with you first. Start through our enquiry page.

Yes. Book an appointment and we will lay out bracelets in different carat weights, shapes and metals so you can compare them on your own wrist. If you cannot visit, ask for close-up photographs or a video of a specific bracelet. You are under no obligation to buy.

Clean it every few weeks in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Take it off for the gym, swimming and heavy tasks, and store it flat in a pouch away from other jewellery. Cleaning, checks and servicing are free at our London showroom, so bring it in once a year to have the claws, links and clasp checked.

Precious-metal bracelets are hallmarked in London. Where a bracelet is sold with a laboratory report, the product page names the lab (GIA for natural, IGI for lab-grown) and the report number. Aftercare is free: cleaning, checks and servicing at our London showroom, and we stay in touch with returning customers. Bespoke and made-to-order pieces are made to your specification and cannot be returned.
