Diamond bracelets are
a jewelry wardrobe must-have. They are dazzling, stylish and extremely
versatile. However, there are a variety of styles to choose from and many
things that should be considered when buying diamond jewelry. This article will
provide you with all the information you’ll need to make an informed diamond
bracelet purchase.
Styles
There are so many
beautiful styles of diamond bracelet available. Here are brief descriptions of
the most popular ones:
Tennis Bracelet – A diamond tennis
bracelet (also called a line bracelet) is simply a line of
diamonds set end-to-end. It is a classic style and the one of the first styles
that come to mind when people think of a diamond bracelet.
Designer Diamond Bracelet – Designer bracelets include a variety
of unique elements. This type of diamond bracelet can feature vintage or modern designs,
two-toned components, links, intricate details and the diamonds can be set in
many different ways.
Red Carpet Bracelet – These eye-catching bracelets are a
real show stopper. These aren’t just designer bracelets that can be worn day or
night; these are diamond bracelets that make a statement of glamour and
incredible taste.
Quality
As always, when you
are purchasing diamond jewelry, you want to consider the 4Cs; color, clarity,
cut and carat weight.
Color – Refers to the absence of color in a clear diamond.
Clarity – Refers to the absence or presence of
natural imperfections in the diamond that are caused as the diamond is being
formed.
Cut – This does not refer to shape, instead cut refers to the
proportions of the stone. A diamond that is cut to deep or too shallow can have
a negative effect on the way light reflects through the stone.
Carat Weight – Refers to the weight of the stone.
Diamonds are priced per carat; the larger the diamond, the rarer the stone and
thus the greater the price per carat.
Budget
Budget is also
something you always want to consider when purchasing diamond jewelry. If you
set a budget, then it helps you decide what quality and total carat weight of
diamonds you would like to have included in the diamond bracelet. You can use a
budget as a starting point to make an informed decision.

joe and I are all about the ring right now - so many options and figuring out what's best for budget/future - we're weighing all the options to see what makes sense (we plan on baby making soon as i get the ring - which makes the ring fund an issue)
