1. Get the right fit
The first step to styling your gold and diamond tennis bracelet is ensuring you buy the right fit in the first place. For comfort, your tennis bracelet should be on your non-dominant hand and be loose enough to allow for movement but not so much to fall off.
Generally, one finger should fit between your tennis bracelet and your wrist for it to be the right fit. However, to ensure you have the right size, it is best to wrap a measuring tape around your wrist and measure.
You know the bracelet is properly fitted if it doesn’t roll off, and your fingers can slip through it comfortably.
We recommend looking at the average size if you are buying a surprise gift for your lover. The most common bracelet size for women is between 7 and 7.5 inches. Since most people are right-handed, it is typically worn on the left wrist for less wear and tear.
Also, when wearing a gold or diamond tennis bracelet, please do not force it on, or it will cause it to break as they are mostly thin and delicate. For this reason and more, such as functionality, getting the appropriate size is crucial.
2. Consider all the metals you’re wearing
Tennis bracelets are a stand-alone beauty that effortlessly pulls attention. However, when coupled with other metal pieces, they look even better.
Still, whether you want to wear it with statement necklaces, earrings, or rings, you should always consider the material and texture of the accessories to match the bracelet.
To begin with, ensure the pieces you choose to pair your bracelet blend well with them. For example, consider wearing a white gold or diamond tennis bracelet with diamond or white gold necklaces, earrings or some yellow gold rings.
Also, any jewellery made of gold will complement a diamond tennis bracelet. This is because the gold’s sheen highlights the radiance of diamonds, especially when exposed to light.
Additionally, consider blending gold and silver when rocking your diamond tennis bracelet. These metals are exquisite and can look good both on men and women.
That said, avoid pairing your gold and diamond bracelet with any jewellery made of plastic, as it’ll downgrade the diamond bracelet.
3. Layer your bracelet
As we said, a tennis bracelet can be a stand-alone beauty. If it’s made of diamond or gold, your bracelet will surely make a bold fashion statement and elevate your look.
If you have an eye for balance, you can easily layer your bracelet with other accessories without looking and feeling tacky.
When deciding what to layer your tennis bracelet with, consider a piece with a fun shape. However, it shouldn’t be made with a material that can easily be scratched by a diamond.
If you want more metals that shine without overpowering the diamond, consider getting platinum, palladium, or white gold bracelets. For a powerful dimension, go for colourful gemstones, including sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. Whichever gemstone you choose, it’s guaranteed to express your individuality and the overall aesthetic you wish to convey.
4. Pair it with a watch
Matching your gold and diamond tennis bracelets with watches is much simpler than you may think. The key to pulling off this style is to choose a watch with a simple design, allowing your bracelets to take centre stage.
Whether you go for a mix of classic yellow gold, elegant white gold, or aesthetic rose gold, these combinations complement each other when the watch includes opulent diamond accents.
Tennis bracelets are designed to add low-key sparkle to your overall outfit and won’t look tacky together with the watch on your wrist.
Also, consider pairing the bracelet with a watch with a leather band if you want it to stand out. This works particularly well if you want the delicacy of your bracelet to stay consistent with the more laid-back and tougher leather strap. You can always spread your style and put your watch on one wrist and your tennis bracelet on the other.
5. Stack it with other fashion bracelets
In addition to styling your tennis bracelet with a watch, wearing it with other pieces on the same wrist is also a stunning idea (do not confuse it with layering bracelets).
Prized for their beauty and versatility, tennis bracelets shimmer alluringly when stacked with other fashion bracelets. With that said, here are a few bracelet stack styling inspirations.
Elegant gold bracelet stack
Rich, yellow-gold tones are timeless when deciding how to stack bracelets. To incorporate similar design elements throughout your bracelet stack, consider wearing different styles crafted by the same designer.
Mixed metal bracelet stack
Mixing precious metals is an excellent way to elevate an everyday glam look. For a more subtle look, start with two different metal colours to create a stack you can quickly build upon.
Gold and silver work well together, as do gold and diamond. Rose gold combines well with traditional yellow or white gold bracelets, creating a striking contrast.
Rose gold bracelet stack
The warm tones of rose gold jewellery create a whimsical and charming appearance. Mix and match materials and incorporate a gemstone or two to add a glamorous twist to this style.
Diamond bracelet stack
Diamonds have the gift of creating an elegant everyday look, whether you are dressing up for a night out or a day party. The trick to stacking diamond bracelets is to combine different materials and bracelet types. To achieve a well-balanced look, start with a tennis bracelet and then add at least two other styles of bracelets.
Chain link bracelet stack
The multi-chain bracelet stack is our go-to style for a bold, modern look. Start with your favourite chain and continue with different chain link sizes, styles and metal colours.
Pearl Bracelet Stack
Not your grandma’s pearls — modernized pearl silhouettes are significantly impacting these days. Pearl bracelets can be styled to be ultra-classic or trendy and modern. To make a larger impression, stack a couple of other pearl bracelets with varying pearl sizes with your gold tennis bracelet. To mix up your outfit, try incorporating different types of pearls and bracelet styles.
As you can see from the styling tip above, stacking bracelets is a great way to jazz up your outfit and allows you to incorporate new pieces while still making the most of your favourite ones.
6. Combine it with a simple necklace
Tennis bracelets of gold or diamond are crafted to have a relaxed and casual-chic feel. When worn together with heavy necklaces and earrings, the sum of the ensemble may look conflicting. Therefore, pair your tennis bracelet with a simple necklace with a dainty diamond pendant.
An eye-catching piece is the Charm Glory 18K Gold and Diamonds pendant, an exquisite, captivating piece of jewellery that embodies elegance and luxury. Add one or two other pendants for a fully customized piece you’ll treasure for years. It is also available in gold (Yellow, White, and Rose).
7. Wear it with your wedding ring
Are you married?
Wearing a tennis bracelet with your wedding or engagement ring is one of the most interesting ways to style it. A tennis bracelet can also complement a bride’s dress beautifully.
If you want to add a sparkle while you walk down the aisle, we recommend any of these stunning bracelets from our collection.
We also recommend wearing it if you are wearing a strapless dress. It will accentuate your arms and add a touch of glamour to your look.
8. Dress up in a casual style
The tennis bracelet’s versatility goes beyond evening gowns and glam nights. They also add a touch of sophistication and charisma to casual denim, tees, tops and flannels.
Speaking of casual, wearing jeans and tops with tennis bracelets looks incredibly chic and cool. You can wear it on almost every occasion, from company parties, meetings, park dates, graduation, or even to a tennis match.
If you want a more understated and minimalist piece, you can opt for daintier jewellery like this Delicate Oval Cut Verona Bracelet. It features the beauty of radiant diamonds; its pure design makes it a perfect piece for everyday wear.
9. Wear them by themselves
Although this type of bracelet can be worn with a watch or other jewellery pieces, tennis bracelets can also be worn independently. They are perfect as a standalone piece for any occasion, providing the right balance of style and sparkle.
The bracelet can slide up and down your wrist, which works well with summer and short-sleeved outfits. If you prefer a suitable everyday bracelet to wear on its own, we recommend wearing the Full Black Skinny Men Bracelet.
10. Include the Bracelet as part of your everyday outfits
A tennis bracelet can be worn as part of your everyday outfit, from working in the office to a night out. It’s worth noting that you should avoid wearing the bracelet when showering or sleeping to prevent the possibility of it losing its sparkly look.
While four-row tennis bracelets should be reserved for special occasions, wearing a single or double-row bracelet adds sparkle to an outfit. When choosing the right bracelet for your everyday outfits, wearing the Classic Double Row Diamond Tennis Bracelet will make you stand out.
11. Add some color
In addition to mixing and matching materials or textures, consider adding a nice splash of colour to the tennis bracelet.
A splash of colour could mean wearing the bracelet with a bright-coloured watch or one with a bright-coloured face, or the bracelet may simply come with a few bright-coloured stones, such as this Skinny Carnival Bracelet.
This bracelet merges the classic style of tennis bracelets and the modernity of colourful stones. This piece has become a must-have for jewellery lovers as you can easily pair it with any outfit. It is available in gold (Yellow, White, and Rose).
