How to Choose a Tennis Bracelet – and How to Wear It
Share
A tennis bracelet is a single line of matching stones set side by side, so the whole bracelet sparkles. The name comes from a well-known story: a tennis star's diamond bracelet broke during a match and play was stopped so she could find it. Since then the style has been called the "tennis bracelet" – and it has become a timeless classic.
1. Choose the stone shape
- Round: the classic look with the most sparkle. See the Classic Moissanite Tennis Bracelet.
- Pear (teardrop): softer and more romantic, with a line of little drops. See the Pear Drop Tennis Bracelet.
- Oval and mixed cuts: modern and eye-catching, often in color. See the "Iris" Pastel Ombre Tennis Bracelet and the Gems Tennis Big Cuts Bracelet.
2. Choose the stone size
Small stones look delicate and are perfect for every day and for stacking. Larger stones make a statement for evenings and events. If this is your first tennis bracelet, a medium size is the easiest to wear with everything.
3. Clear or colorful?
Clear stones go with every outfit and every other piece of jewelry. Colored stones – pastel sapphires, rainbow gems – add personality and look great with simple clothes.
4. Check the metal and the stones
- 925 sterling silver with moissanite or lab-created stones is the premium, long-lasting choice.
- Silver-tone or gold-tone fashion pieces give you the look at a friendly price.
Not sure which metal is right for you? Read 925 silver vs. gold-plated vs. stainless steel.
5. Look at the clasp
A tennis bracelet holds many stones, so a secure clasp matters. A fold-over box clasp with a safety catch keeps it closed. Tip: a bracelet opener makes it easy to put on by yourself.
6. Get the length right
Measure your wrist with a soft tape and add about 1–2 cm for a comfortable fit. The bracelet should move a little, but not slide over your hand.
