Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet Buyer’s Guide

 

Lab grown diamonds have been shaking up the jewelry industry for years, and for good reason. These beauties are high-quality, easier on your wallet, and kinder to our planet. From earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets, you can’t go wrong with lab grown diamond jewelry. 


If you’re considering adding a diamond tennis bracelet to your collection, there are a few things to consider before making your purchase. In this guide, we’ll explore what those “things” are so you can make the most informed decision. 


Understanding Lab-grown Diamonds 

Before you purchase a tennis bracelet with lab grown diamonds, it’s important to understand the basics. 

 

Lab Grown Diamonds 101

Imagine diamonds created in a high-tech lab, replicating nature’s process but with a modern twist. That’s what lab grown diamonds are all about. They’re chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds - minus the unethical practices and surcharge. 


While searching for the best lab grown diamond tennis bracelet, the biggest difference you’ll see between traditional diamonds is the price. Lab grown diamonds typically cost 20-40% less than traditional diamonds. Why pay more when you can get the same sparkle for less?

 

 

What to Know Before You Buy A Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Thanks to Chris Evert, a fashionable and iconic athlete, the tennis bracelet gained its popularity after she lost hers in a match and was determined to find it. Since then, 1978 to be exact, they have become a staple in many jewelry collections. While you might not be playing at the U.S. Open anytime soon, if you’re here, you’re also on the hunt to find your ideal tennis bracelet. 


Here’s what you should consider while on your search:

 

  • Diamond Quality: When shopping for any diamond, remember the 4Cs (cut, clarity, color, carat weight). These are important factors in determining the quality of your lab grown diamond tennis bracelet. 
  • Setting Styles/Metals: Many forget the impact of the setting and metals you choose to compliment your jewelry. From prong to bezel settings or white gold and platinum, the settings and metals can impact the look and feel of your bracelet. 
  • Diamond Shapes: Ovals, emeralds, or cushions can be designed into stunning tennis bracelets. Explore different diamond shapes to find the one you most desire. 
  • Length and Fit: The standard length of a tennis bracelet is 7 inches, but the fit is even more crucial. You want your bracelet snug enough to stay in one place but loose enough for comfort. 
  • Pricing: Depending on things like the quality you choose, setting, diamond shape, and even the length, prices vary depending on your personal preference. 

The Best Place to Shop for Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelets

You want to trust whomever you decided to purchase a lab grown tennis bracelet from, and that trust starts with research. It’s important to vet customer reviews; this is one way to learn if the jeweler really is who they say they are.


Once you’ve done the research and found a reputable jeweler, it’s important to understand their policies and the level of customer support you’ll receive during and after your purchase. Factoring in your budget and personal preferences, like customization, should also be top of mind when searching for a retailer. Some retailers offer customization options so that you can create unique lab grown diamond tennis bracelets that truly speak to your style.

From a professional cleaning to polishing, prong check, and tightening, your jewelry should have care options that ensure your bracelet stays in tip-top shape.
