Diamonds,they say are a woman’s best friend. So why shouldn’t a woman adorn herself with beautiful diamonds on her slender wrist. A diamond tennis bracelet is the best way to glamorize yourself without being too bling.
But wouldn’t a bracelet be distracting while playing a game of Tennis? Wouldn’t the delicate bracelet be in the danger of falling off or snapping? After all this was the problem that Chris Evert faced and was the very reason th bracelet got popular. It is important that the bracelet be sized to the circumference of the wrist of the wearer. If the bracelet is loose there is a possibility that it will fall off or slip off your wrist. Also there is a risk that the bracelet can break while wearing if it is too tight. Hence the measurement is of utmost importance.
The clasp and securing device of the bracelet should be appropriate as well. After all if you are paying big buck for a row of quality diamonds, you do not want to lose it because it wasn’t secure enough on your wrist.
Now let’s discuss the style of the classic diamond tennis bracelet. It is a very simple and elegant design. A single row of quality diamonds set in gold, white gold or platinum interspersed with bars of the precious metal in between. The diamonds are affixed using the prong style. This is the most popular style but over the years many variations have been developed.
