Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard length for a lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet? +
The most common length for a women's tennis bracelet is 7 inches. A perfect fit typically allows enough space for one finger to slide between the bracelet and your wrist.
How do lab-grown diamonds compare to mined diamonds in a tennis bracelet? +
They are visually and chemically identical. Because tennis bracelets require dozens of matching stones, choosing lab-grown diamonds allows for superior consistency in color and clarity across the entire piece at a significantly lower price point than a mined equivalent.
What is the difference between a four-prong and a bezel setting for tennis bracelets? +
A four-prong setting is the classic choice, allowing maximum light to enter the diamonds for intense sparkle.
Is it safe to wear a lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet every day? +
Yes, lab-grown diamonds are incredibly durable (10 on the Mohs scale). However, because tennis bracelets are flexible pieces with many moving links, we recommend removing them during high-impact activities or heavy exercise to protect the integrity of the metal setting.
What kind of clasp is best for a diamond tennis bracelet? +
Safety is paramount for tennis bracelets. Most high-quality designs feature a primary tongue-and-groove clasp supplemented by one or two 'figure-eight' safety hinges on the side to ensure the bracelet stays secure even if the main latch is bumped.
How do I calculate the total carat weight (CTTW) for a tennis bracelet? +
Total Carat Weight refers to the sum of all lab-grown diamonds in the bracelet. For example, a 5cttw bracelet may contain 50 individual 0.10-carat diamonds. The weight per diamond will vary depending on the total length and the size of the stones used.
