Why Are Diamond Bracelets Called Tennis Bracelets?
Diamond bracelets consist of numerous diamonds connected in a row by a metal setting. These were once called eternity bracelets, but nowadays they are more commonly known as tennis bracelets. The term was coined by tennis player Chris Evert, who famously wore her blinged-out diamond bracelet during a match.
The story goes like this: In the middle of the match, her diamond bracelet went flying after swinging her racquet. She refused to continue the match until her bracelet was found, so officials were to halt the US Open match to help her search for her missing jewelry. Eventually, they managed to find the bracelet and resumed play. After the match, Chris was asked about her jewelry in an interview, to which she replied "Oh, that? That's my tennis bracelet!" And the name has stuck ever since!
Are Diamond Bracelets a Good Choice For Gifting?
Diamond bracelets are a great gift for any and all occasions. They are a timeless classic that everyone will love, not just the ladies! That's right, diamond bracelets are unisex so men, women, and non-binary people can also wear them. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a graduation, an anniversary, or a birthday, you can't go wrong with a diamond bracelet!
Can I Wear My Diamond Bracelet Every Day?
Of course! In fact, it's very common for people to wear them 24/7. A diamond bracelet is a perfect addition to any jewelry collection because of its versatility. You can pair it with just about everything, be it a fancy cocktail dress or athleisure clothing. If you want to make a bold fashion statement, wear your bracelet as an anklet!
You can also add an extra layer of radiance to your bracelet by wearing a diamond ring! For instance, a marquise-cut or oval-shaped diamond with a halo or baguette stones along its channel, all beautifully tied together with a gold band, will captivate the eyes of everyone with its unique charm.
Are Diamond Bracelets Expensive?
Diamond bracelets don't necessarily have to be expensive, but their cost depends on many different factors. The first thing you'll have to decide is the type of precious metals that will be used for the setting of your bracelet. Options range from yellow, white, and rose gold to platinum. You can combine these different types of metals to create a stunning two-tone or tri-tone bracelet that everyone will love!
Another factor you'll want to consider is the diamonds on the bracelet. It is common to use colorless diamonds, but you can also opt for colored diamonds. These include rare colors such as sapphire-blue, pink, and green to more common ones such as brown/champagne and yellow.
Something else to keep in mind is the style of your bracelet. You can choose from either a bangle, a chain, or a tennis bracelet. A diamond bracelet with a chain or bangle will allow the metal setting to stand out, whereas a tennis bracelet may give the diamonds a silver or gold tone.
How Can I Tell If My Diamond Bracelet is Real?
At Clean Origin, all of our jewelry is made with lab grown diamonds. A diamond created in a lab replicates the natural diamond growing process using cutting-edge technology. The result? A diamond that is chemically, physically, and optically the same as a mined diamond. When you shop for your diamond bracelet at Clean Origin, you can be certain that you're getting only the finest jewelry with the highest quality and purest beginnings.
If you own a bracelet that is not from Clean Origin, there are ways to test whether it is real or not. You can perform a metal check, that is, assessing if the bracelet is made of gold or other precious metals. The easiest way to do this is by looking for a hallmark or a letter mark engraved into your bracelet.
If you're wanting to test if the diamonds are real or not, then you can either do a scratch or fog test. A scratch test involves rubbing a piece of sandpaper against the diamond, but don't worry, a real diamond won't scratch from this. The fog test requires you to breathe into it until it fogs up. A real diamond will clear up after a few seconds, if it takes longer than 3 seconds then it most likely isn't a real diamond.
How Do I Clean My Diamond Bracelet?
It is only natural that over time your bracelet will become dirty, especially if it's worn on a regular basis. To clean your jewelry, soak your bracelet for a couple of minutes in a bowl with lukewarm water and dish soap. Then, you'll want to use a soft toothbrush to remove any dirt or other unwanted grime from it. When doing this, make sure to be gentle with it, as scrubbing too hard can scratch your bracelet. Lastly, use a soft cloth to dry off your bracelet.
