A diamond tennis bracelet is a continuous line of matched diamonds that follows the wrist, set so the stones flow without a visible break. Our founder has designed and made fine jewellery in London since 1999, and every bracelet we make is designed in CAD and hand-finished at our own bench, with casting and setting carried out by trusted specialist workshops. The result is a single piece, balanced along its full length.
The style takes its name from a moment at the 1987 US Open, when a player's diamond line bracelet came apart on court and the term tennis bracelet entered common use. The name stuck. The appeal has not changed: an unbroken row of brilliant stones that sits close to the skin and catches light from every angle as the wrist moves.
The quality of a tennis bracelet lives in the matching. Because the stones sit side by side in a single row, any variation in colour or size is visible at a glance. We select diamonds so that each one agrees with its neighbour for colour, clarity and dimension, which is why the line reads as one even sweep rather than a series of separate stones.
We offer both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds, each independently graded so you can compare like for like. If you would like to read more first, see our notes on natural diamonds and laboratory-grown diamonds.
The setting decides how much metal you see and how the bracelet wears. We work in platinum and 18ct golds, and choose the style to suit the stones and the wrist.
Security matters on a piece worn from morning to evening. We fit a double clasp with a hidden safety catch, so the bracelet stays closed even if the main clasp is knocked open.
Total carat weight sets the scale of the bracelet, from a fine, understated line to a broader, more present one. We talk this through against your wrist and how you intend to wear it. Each bracelet is then sized to your exact wrist measurement, so it sits with a little movement but never slips.
Pricing depends on the piece, chiefly the diamonds and the total carat weight, and is quoted per commission after a consultation.
There is no single figure. Cost is driven by the diamonds you choose, the total carat weight and the metal. We quote each bracelet individually once the design is settled, after a consultation at our studio.
Yes. We supply both, each independently graded. They can be matched to the same standard for colour and size, so the choice is yours on origin and budget rather than appearance.
A double clasp paired with a hidden safety catch. If the main clasp is caught and opened, the secondary catch holds the bracelet on the wrist, which is reassuring for a piece worn this often.
A diamond tennis bracelet is a significant milestone piece, and one worth getting right. To begin, book a consultation at our London studio, or read more about how we approach bespoke jewellery across the full range, including bracelets of every kind.

A standard 18cm tennis bracelet holds 45 to 60 diamonds depending on individual stone size. A 3.0ct total-weight bracelet typically contains 60 stones at 0.05ct each; a 5.0ct bracelet 50 stones at 0.10ct each; a 10.0ct bracelet might hold 40 stones at 0.25ct each. Larger individual stones make a more prominent piece but cost significantly more per total carat.
Bespoke tennis bracelets at Hatton Garden Bespoke Jewellery start from around £4,500 in 18ct gold with 3ct total weight. Mid-range pieces at 5-7ct total weight run £8,000 to £15,000. Statement pieces with individual 0.25ct+ stones and exceptional colour/clarity grades can reach £50,000+. Platinum adds roughly 30 percent over white gold.
Hidden box-and-tongue clasps (the most secure and invisible), double-locking figure-8 clasps for extra security on high-value pieces, safety chain attachments (recommended on all tennis bracelets for insurance), and quick-release clasps for frequent wearers. Every clasp is hallmarked and tested to hold well above the bracelet's own weight.
Yes - alternating round brilliants with baguettes or emerald cuts creates a distinctive Art-Deco feel. You can also stage larger centre stones along the bracelet rising toward the centre point of the wrist (a 'graduated' design). We design and CAD-render these multi-shape layouts at consultation.
A properly made tennis bracelet is built for daily wear. Each diamond is individually prong-set (not just glued) and the bracelet has a hinged link structure that distributes movement evenly. With annual inspection (complimentary for pieces we've made), a tennis bracelet will last generations. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals and remove for heavy manual work.
