Tennis Bracelets: How to Style, Fit, and Choose the Perfect Diamond Bracelet

A diamond tennis bracelet is a timeless piece of jewelry that adds elegance and sophistication to any look, and its a staple in building a jewelry wardrobe. But how to you wear it? What style should you invest in? We have all the answers.
How to Style a Tennis Bracelet
From formal occasions to everyday looks, the ways to style a diamond tennis bracelet are endless. We’re always keeping an eye on our favorite trendsetters, like Morgan Stewart and Tamara Kalinic, especially to see how they’re styling their jewelry. Morgan Stewart's tennis bracelets have caught the attention of many, becoming an iconic look. She pairs a mixed-shape yellow diamond bracelet and a pear-shaped diamond bracelet, both of which have lingered in our thoughts long after seeing it. A tennis bracelet is the ultimate accessory, instantly elevating any look with its refined elegance - yet many ask how to style it.
1. Everyday Elegance
A pair of jeans, a crisp white shirt, and a tennis bracelet? So effortless, yet so elegant. One simply cannot go wrong with a classic tennis bracelet, but if you're looking for a little elevation, we love a pear diamond tennis bracelet.
2. Layering with Other Jewelry
While fashion insiders have moved past stacks of Cartier Love Bracelets and layers of Van Cleef Alhambra bracelets, an edited wrist stack will always make a statement. Incorporating various shapes such as a multi-shape diamond bracelet alongside a classic round diamond bracelet gives a refreshed look. Want a timeless look? Pair your bracelet with a vintage timepiece.
3. Formal Occasions
For evening wear or special events, a diamond bracelet alongside diamond earrings or a matching diamond necklace is so chic, but stick to shapes and sizes that complement your outfit without overwhelming it.
How Should a Tennis Bracelet Fit?
Finding the perfect fit for a tennis bracelet is essential for both comfort and style. It should sit securely on your wrist, allowing slight movement without sliding over your hand. A good rule of thumb is to ensure that you are able to slide two fingers between the bracelet and your wrist. At Jewels Aficionado, the fit can be customized to your wrist for a flawless, made-for-you feel.
Differences Between Tennis Bracelets
Not all tennis bracelets are the same. When choosing your perfect piece, consider factors like diamond shapes, carat weight, metal types, and diamond origins.
Diamond Shapes vary from the classic brilliance of round-cut diamonds to the sleek elegance of emerald-cut stones. Each shape offers a unique style and sparkle. Carat weight affects both the appearance and price of the bracelet. Larger carat weights make a bold statement, while smaller diamonds create a more delicate, understated look.
The setting style is a key factor in the design of tennis bracelets, with options like two, three, or four prongs. A four-prong setting provides extra security and stability, making it perfect for larger stones, and those who prefer a classic look. On the other hand, a three-prong setting highlights the diamond's shape, while allowing more light to pass through, boosting the diamond's brilliance.
When it comes to fine jewelry, metal choice sets the tone. Opt for 18K white gold for a luminous, classic sparkle, yellow gold for warm, timeless elegance, rose gold for a soft, romantic touch, or platinum for unmatched durability. A white gold tennis bracelet enhances the brilliance of white diamonds, ensuring maximum sparkle, while yellow gold shines best when paired with yellow diamonds. We love a personalized touch in every outfit, so layer both into your bracelet stack for a chic mix of metals and shapes.
Go the timeless luxury route with natural diamonds or choose lab grown diamonds, a sustainable and affordable alternative with the same brilliance and quality. We offer both natural diamond tennis bracelets and lab grown, sourced from the most elite partners. Each lab grown diamond is set with the same precision, artistry, and meticulous attention to detail as our natural diamonds, ensuring every piece reflects the highest standard of quality and craftsmanship.

At Jewels Aficionado, we offer a wide range of diamond tennis bracelets in various carat weights, shapes, and colors to suit your personal style. And if you’re looking for something truly unique, we can custom make a one of a kind piece just for you. Whether classic or customized, a diamond tennis bracelet is always a brilliant choice.
