Diamond Tennis Bracelets
The unbroken
line.
An unbroken line of diamonds. Fit decides how it moves, the clasp decides whether it stays on, and the construction decides how it wears.
Fit
A tennis bracelet should sit just past the wrist bone with room for one finger beneath it. It should move slightly without sliding over the hand or turning constantly.
| Your wrist, measured snug | Bracelet length | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| 5.5″ | 6.25″ – 6.5″ | Close |
| 6″ | 6.5″ – 6.75″ | Classic |
| 6.5″ | 7″ | One-finger gap |
| 7″ | 7.25″ – 7.5″ | Relaxed |
If you stack bracelets, size up slightly so the clasp is not under strain.
The clasp
A box clasp with a safety latch is the standard: two locks, so one failure does not mean a lost bracelet. Check that it closes with a firm click.
Daily wear
Diamonds are hard enough for daily wear, but the links and settings that hold them take the strain. A low-profile construction sits flat, slides under a cuff, and catches less.
Questions
Why is it called a tennis bracelet?
The name comes from a widely told story of a professional player whose diamond bracelet came loose during a match. The lesson about secure clasps stuck.
Can I wear one every day?
Yes. Check the clasp and safety latch regularly, and take it off for sport, heavy work and swimming.
Will it turn on my wrist?
Some movement is normal. A well-fitted bracelet keeps the diamonds face-up most of the time.
