How do I choose the right tennis bracelet?

Step 1: choosing a precious metal
White Gold tennis bracelets
White gold exudes a timeless elegance and is a versatile option that complements any wardrobe. Its silvery hue enhances the brilliance of gemstones, making it a popular choice for a classic, yet contemporary look.
Yellow Gold tennis bracelets
Yellow gold offers a warm, luxurious glow that has been cherished through the ages. This traditional alloy adds a touch of vintage charm and opulence, perfect for those who appreciate classic beauty.
Red gold tennis bracelets
Red gold provides a modern twist with its romantic, pinkish tint. This alloy is increasingly favoured for its unique and trendy appeal, offering a subtle yet distinct twist to your jewellery collection.
Step 2: adding the right gemstone
Diamond bracelets
A diamond tennis bracelet is the ultimate symbol of elegance and grace. Diamonds, with their unmatched brilliance and timeless allure, make any bracelet a statement piece that speaks of sophistication and eternal beauty.
Yellow diamond bracelets
Yellow diamond bracelets bring a sunny and vibrant energy to your bracelet. Their radiant hue is perfect for those who desire a burst of colour and a piece that stands out with warmth and personality.
Black diamond bracelets
Black diamond bracelets provide a bold contrast against the bright alloys, creating a chic and modern aesthetic that is sure to catch everyone's eye.
Step 3: choosing the perfect size
If you have a narrow wrist, many different kinds of bracelets will fit you. You can combine several bracelets and wear both fine and coarse bracelets. If you have a somewhat broader wrist, it is best to choose a bracelet of average width. A bracelet with coarse beads or large links makes your wrist look wider. The same applies to very fine bracelets. A subtle tennis bracelet is then the best choice.
