Tennis bracelets are thin bracelets set with diamonds and feature a thin clasp to secure the bracelet on the wearer’s wrist. The most popular tennis bracelet style today is the classic prong setting.
In terms of styles, there are a number of choices to choose from, so it is possible to find tennis bracelets to suit your personal taste. There are both classical styles and modern styles. Classical styles of tennis bracelets usually are those which are thin, have a large number of diamonds set into the bracelet. This being said, classical tennis bracelets are basically those that are solid and don’t have links. The four major types of tennis bracelet settings are the following: Prong setting, channel setting, bezel setting, and half bezel setting. Bezel settings are certainly the most unique of these choices.
Modern tennis bracelet styles take a fresh spin on the classic tennis bracelet design and add an interesting twist to the metal. Some interesting takes include twisting the metal in intricate and unique designs. Or, diamonds may be set in a unique pattern. They may also be link bracelets that are set with diamonds in manners such as prong settings or the very safe bar settings, which keep the diamonds set in place.
However, there are other tennis bracelets that are completely different. These tennis bracelets are usually plain in that they have a different metal than what’s normal and use metals such as titanium, silver, gold and even metals such as palladium and may even be from copper (although this is pretty uncommon since copper is rather heavy and now mostly used in industry than in jewelry).
They are usually engraved with different designs or the metal has been twisted. Very often, these unconventional looking tennis bracelets are braided and look like gold cords. It’s a great idea to pair bangles with tennis bracelets to spice up your bracelet image and add a little jingle to your wrist.
