Tennis bracelets feature a continuous line of stones connected by flexible links that move beautifully with your wrist. They're perfect for formal occasions or when you want maximum sparkle. Bangles, on the other hand, are solid circular bands that slip over your hand - like our 14K Gold Diamond Station Bangles. Bangles are incredibly versatile for everyday wear and layering, while tennis bracelets are more delicate and dressy. I often recommend tennis bracelets for special occasions and bangles for clients who want something they can wear daily. Come in and try both styles - you'll immediately feel which one suits your lifestyle and personal taste better!

Proper bracelet sizing is crucial for both comfort and security. For our tennis bracelets, you'll want about ½ to ¾ inch of movement for comfortable wear - too tight and it's uncomfortable, too loose and it can catch on things or feel clunky. Our bangles need to slip over your hand comfortably but not slide around excessively on your wrist. Come visit us at our showroom and we can measure your wrist and have you try on different options to find the one that you love.

While all of our bracelets are crafted for durability, we always tell our customers that it depends on your lifestyle and the specific piece. Our bangles are fantastic for everyday wear because the settings protect the stones beautifully. Tennis bracelets require a bit more care since the stones are more exposed, but many of my customers wear theirs daily and just remove them for activities like gardening or heavy exercise. The key is choosing the right setting style for your lifestyle. If you come visit us, we can discuss your daily activities and help you select a bracelet that can handle your routine while keeping your diamonds secure and sparkling for years to come.

We love explaining the different settings because each offers unique benefits! Bezel setting completely surrounds each stone with a thin metal rim - this provides maximum protection and creates a sleek, modern look that's perfect for active lifestyles. Burnish setting involves pressing the metal around the diamond to hold it securely while maintaining a smooth surface - it's incredibly durable and comfortable against the skin. Pave setting uses tiny metal beads or prongs to hold multiple small diamonds close together, creating that incredible wall-of-sparkle effect. While pave offers maximum brilliance, bezel and burnish settings are more practical for everyday wear. I always recommend considering your lifestyle when choosing - if you're hard on jewelry, bezel or burnish will serve you better, but if you want maximum glamour for special occasions, pave is breathtaking!
