Diamond Bracelet Buying Guide: Compare Prices, Styles, and Quality
A diamond bracelet is a piece you buy once and wear for years. It catches the light every time you move your hand. That is why the choice deserves a little thought.
Most customers begin with images and pricing, and before you know it, everything is the same. Pricing varies unpredictably across carat weights. Lastly, sizing matters. A bracelet that fits perfectly when seen online may not fit when worn.
In this article, you will get details on the top 3 factors, namely pricing, style, and quality, among others. You'll also learn about tennis bracelet sizing and diamond bracelet sizing. All examples come from the Diamonds of London Diamond Bracelet collection.
Why a Diamond Bracelet Is a Smart Jewelry Choice
A diamond bracelet will work well for both everyday wear and special occasions. A single strand of diamonds can match your jeans during the day. The same piece is perfect for both weddings and dinner later that night.
Diamonds of London is a family-owned jeweler, and the family has been in the jewelry business for more than 100 years. The store has served the San Antonio region since 2012. The store carries a variety of bracelets, including 41 items, and most are in 14K gold.
Why does this matter? Your wrist moves a lot. Bracelets get bumped against your desk, handbag, and even car doors. A 14K gold bracelet is more durable in these situations than a higher-karat one. Learn more in our 14K gold bracelets for women guide.

Start with how you plan to wear it.
1. Tennis Bracelet
A tennis bracelet is a piece made of one row of diamonds that fits around the wrist without creating any mess. The "14K 4.98CT Certified Lab Grown Tennis Bracelet" is an excellent example of such a design in 14K yellow gold.
2. Everyday Diamond Bracelets (1.00 to 2.00 Carats)
Lightweight bracelets are perfect for those who require shine without heft. An unobtrusive 1.00- or 2.00-carat bracelet is just right.
3. Statement Bracelets (5.00 Carats and Up)
For those looking for a bigger presence, consider carats higher than the above. Options available in the selection range from 5.00, 7.00, 10.00 to 11.52 carats.
4. Fancy Bracelets
However, some designs take this one step further. The 14K 26.50CT Lab Grown Fancy Bracelet has the most expensive bracelet design in the collection.
5. White Gold or Yellow Gold
This selection provides both. White gold is perfect for a cool, bright look that complements silver-colored watches. Yellow gold has a warm and traditional appearance. Match the color to the jewelry you already wear, like your rings and earrings.

Here are a few interesting observations. Two 1.00-carat jewelry items listed above differ by $250 each. Bigger bracelets will be less expensive per carat. The 1.00 carat bracelet sells for approximately $1,498 per carat on sale. The 10.00 carat EGL-certified bracelet sells for approximately $625 per carat. If you want extra sparkle for your money, look at the per-carat cost.
Set a budget first, then compare two or three bracelets inside it.

Compare Diamond Bracelet Quality
Certification
Some bracelets in the collection mention certification. In some cases, the lab name is included in the title, like IGI in 1.00 ct bracelet 66872 and EGL in 5.00 ct and 10.00 ct bracelets 67001 and 67002, respectively. A grading laboratory report is an independent opinion about the diamond.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds feature prominently in the collection's diamond bracelets. They are real diamonds, chemically and physically the same as mined diamonds. The only difference is that they are grown in a lab rather than mined from the earth.
Total Carat Weight
Product pages display the total carat weight, abbreviated as “ctw.” The carat weight displayed on the product page refers to the total weight of all the diamonds that make up the tennis bracelet, not the weight of an individual diamond.
Clasp and Setting
Check out the clasp, as a good clasp ensures that your bracelet doesn’t fall off. All diamonds should lie flat, and none should be higher or looser than the others.
If something is missing about a product page, make use of the "Ask A Question" button. Choose which way you would like to get your response.
Tennis Bracelet Sizing: How to Get the Right Length
Getting the proper size for a tennis bracelet takes much more attention than other types of jewelry. This is because the bracelet is one continuous string of diamonds, so it can't stretch. If too loose, it will rotate and turn the stones upside down. If it's too tight, it will pinch when you bend your wrist.
1. Measure Your Wrist
Wind a soft measuring tape around your wrist slightly above the wrist bone. Without a measuring tape? Use a strip of paper or string. Mark the spot where the two ends meet, then stretch it on a ruler. Don’t stretch it too tightly.
2. Add Room for Comfort
What you measure here is your wrist measurement, not bracelet size. Generally, allow about half an inch extra. Allow three-quarters of an inch if you want a more comfortable fit. You can increase to one inch for a looser fit.
3. Think About Stone Size
More massive diamonds occupy more volume in the bracelet. A larger tennis bracelet, for example one weighing 4.98 carats, requires slightly more room than a 1.00 carat bracelet worn by the same person.
4. Confirm the Length Before You Order
If the length is not listed on the product page, ask before you buy. Use the "Ask A Question" button, call (210) 524-7224, or email sales@diamondsoflondon.com.
Diamond Bracelet Fit: Comfort, Wear and Styling
Good diamond bracelet fit is about more than length.
Daily Wear or Special Occasions
For a bracelet you wear all the time, keep it close to your wrist. A tight fit stays where it should when typing, cooking, and driving. For evening wear, a loose fit lets it sparkle.
The One-Finger Test
Once the bracelet is on, insert a finger between the bracelet and the wrist. If the finger slips in comfortably and the bracelet does not slip down over the hand, then the bracelet is a good fit.
Wearing It With a Watch
Diamonds will scratch the surface of the watch case should they be rubbing against one another. Ensure that there is some room between the two or use the bracelet in the other wrist. For those who are looking to match a bracelet with their new watch, consider visiting the watches and seeing how it would look like.
Ensure that your metals are uniform when choosing bracelets, rings, and necklaces.
