Diamond Bracelets for the Modern Woman

Diamond bracelets hold all of the sophistication and grace of the more commonly seen diamond rings, but they bring their own beauty to the hand, delicately draping or boldly encircling the wrist. The two main styles of diamond bracelets--diamond tennis bracelets (sometimes called eternity or inline bracelets) and diamond bangles--are everyday staples, versatile and luxurious with any outfit, and a great piece of classic diamond jewelry to add to your wardrobe. Stack bangles one on top of the other for a delightfully flashy vibe, or stick with a single ropy tennis bracelet for a hint of sophistication.

Why Choose Diamonds?

Diamonds are the hardest, strongest, and most permanent material known to man; this makes them the ideal choice for any piece of jewelry, but it makes them particularly valuable in diamond bracelets. Inevitably bumped and scratched due to their proximity to the hand, a diamond won’t scuff and chip like other colored gemstones. It's at a far smaller risk of being damaged by environmental concerns, unlike pearl bracelets or colored gemstone bracelets. Diamond bangles and tennis bracelets are therefore the perfect choice for both daily wear and special events due to their durable nature and stunning appearance.

Finding the Perfect Fit

When buying a diamond bracelet, a comfortable fit is crucial. In diamond tennis bracelets or other clasped bracelets, look for a length that dangles nicely around the wrist but is not so loose that it falls off. Between seven and eight inches is an average size for a women's bracelet; a finger should be able to fit between your wrist and the bracelet. A diamond bangle should slide on and off snugly without the risk of slipping off accidentally. If possible, try on your diamond bracelet before purchasing to ensure the length and clasp style work for your wrist. If you have any questions about how a bracelet should fit, you can always speak to one of our staff at Ware's Jewelers.

Choosing a Clasp

An important aspect of choosing the perfect diamond bracelet also involves selecting a fastening style. There are several different fasteners, each with their own benefits. Lobster clasps and spring rings provide the most security, while magnetic closures are the easiest to affix around the wrist. S-hooks and toggle clasps are endlessly customizable; pearl and box clasps offer a vintage effect while staying securely fastened.
