Characteristics and types
A tennis bracelet is constructed from numerous identical settings, which each has a hinge. The links are joined from the sides which gives the bracelet flexibility. Many popular tennis bracelets feature round diamonds secured in settings of four claws. Jewellers can easily adjust the length of a tennis bracelet so that it fits perfectly (not too tight or too loose). As mentioned above, there are lots of options to choose from now, such as bracelets combining diamonds with sapphires or rubies, bracelets featuring emerald cut or baguette diamonds or oval cut diamonds, bracelets with S-lock pattern settings clasping round diamonds and many more.
Tennis bracelets can be very dainty or quite chunky. They can be done in yellow or white or rose gold or platinum. You can design your own tennis bracelet and have it custom made.
Wearing your tennis bracelet
Should you wear it when playing tennis? Absolutely! As mentioned above, when they became known as tennis bracelets, clasp mechanisms were improved, and good quality tennis bracelets should not come undone. A heavy impact knock could damage your bracelet of course, and if it were to somehow get caught on something at high velocity, the latch or a link could potentially be broken, causing it to fall off, but this is unlikely.
Although it is quite a light-hearted, fun item of jewellery by nature, nevertheless, it contains numerous diamonds and/or other precious stones, and as such has significant monetary value, so you definitely need to be mindful of that. Tennis bracelets are not for wearing every day. They play a fantastic round with matching earrings. Why not bring in a complementary necklace? Or have a tennis bracelet custom made to go with a favourite set of necklace and earrings you already own – game, set, match! Tennis bracelets are mostly worn on the same wrist as your watch, higher up the arm. If you have a snappy watch, this look is an ace, especially if the two complement each other in colour and tone.
As we said, a diamond tennis bracelet rocks a bridal set. It really is an amazingly versatile item of jewellery. What a champion!
