Diamond tennis and gold link bracelets on wrist – Picasso Gold & Diamond Chicago

Diamond tennis bracelets in 14K gold with lab-grown and natural diamonds, from 1 to 28 carats, in round, baguette and fancy-shape lines.

Diamond Tennis Bracelets

A tennis bracelet is a single, flexible line of diamonds, and few pieces do more with less. Our 100-plus designs are set mostly in 14K white and yellow gold, with select 10K, 18K and rose gold options.

How to choose a tennis bracelet

Carat total weight sets the presence. One to 3 carats is refined and easy to stack, 5 carats is the modern classic, and 10 carats and up is pure statement.

Four-prong settings let in the most light, and illusion settings make each diamond look larger. Beyond round diamonds, choose round-and-baguette, emerald, oval or radiant lines for a fashion-forward look. White gold makes the diamonds look bright and icy, while yellow gold adds warmth.

Lab-grown vs. natural, and price

Most of the collection features lab-grown diamonds, which put bigger carat weights within reach. A 1 ct lab-grown bracelet in 14K gold starts at about $1,400, our best-selling 5 ct style is about $2,800, and 15 to 28 ct showpieces sit between about $15,700 and $17,550.

Natural diamond tennis bracelets start around $1,600 for 1 ct in 10K gold. Explore more in lab diamond bracelets and natural diamond bracelets.

A tennis bracelet should move freely without sliding far down the hand. Many styles are listed at 7 inches, a common women's length; check each product page for length. Pair yours with diamond stud earrings for a polished set.

Every bracelet ships free and insured in the US on orders over $200 and arrives with a Picasso jewelry spec card. Ready-to-ship pieces have 30-day returns, and all fine jewelry carries our lifetime manufacturing warranty. Questions? Book a one-on-one appointment.

Tennis Bracelet FAQs

How many carats should a tennis bracelet be?

It depends on how you want it to read. One to 3 carats is delicate and easy to wear daily or stack with a watch. Five carats is the most popular modern size, with clear presence on the wrist. Ten carats and above is a true statement piece for evenings and milestones.

Why is it called a tennis bracelet?

The name dates to the 1987 US Open, when tennis champion Chris Evert's diamond line bracelet came loose during a match and play paused while she searched for it. The story made headlines, and the slim, flexible diamond bracelet has been called a tennis bracelet ever since.

Are lab-grown diamond tennis bracelets worth it?

For most buyers, yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with the same brilliance and hardness, at a lower price per carat. In our collection, a 5 ct lab-grown tennis bracelet in 14K gold is about $2,800, a size that would cost considerably more with natural diamonds.

How do I care for a diamond tennis bracelet?

Check the clasp and safety catch each time you put it on, and have the prongs inspected periodically. Remove it for sports, swimming and heavy work. Clean it with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, and store it flat in a separate pouch to prevent tangling and scratches.
