A diamond bracelet is an elegant piece of jewelry that encircles the wrist and emits the glint and sparkle that only diamonds can. There are three basic types of diamond bracelets all of which come in variety of styles and can be made from a selection of materials.
The traditional diamond line bracelet was reborn as the diamond tennis bracelet when a bracelet worn by Chris Evert at the 1987 U.S. Open Championship broke and play had to be suspended while she gathered her diamonds from the court. Diamond tennis bracelets are usually made from gold or platinum and feature lines or a symmetrical pattern of diamonds often interspersed with other gems like sapphire or ruby.
A diamond bangle bracelet consists of one or more rigid hoops that are slightly larger than the wrist and normally made of precious metals like gold, white gold or sterling silver. It is not uncommon for there to be two or more loops making up the bangle bracelet. Small diamonds are set into the hoops or supported on links between them.
The diamond charm bracelet starts out as a normal a link bracelet on which small pendants or trinkets can be hung. The charms are gifts or small items that have special meaning to the person wearing the bracelet and are usually collected over many years often beginning in childhood. The diamonds in a diamond charm bracelet can be set in the charms or into the links of the bracelet. Either way, the sparkle of diamonds adds to the attraction of this collection of mementos.
