If so, do you get a lot of wear out of it? Or only wear it sometimes? And do you know the tcw?

I have one, inherited from a relative. It is absolutely beautiful but does anyone else find that the hairs on their arms catch between the articulated links?! I find it don’t wear it as much as I’d like because it stings, and I’m not especially hairy…

I was just coming on to say this! This is why I don’t wear mine at all!

Thank you @Westpoint
This is another recent bargain - diamond clusters also in yellow gold 15ct this time

@JaceLancs Those are both lovely! Do you ever wear them together?

Thank you @user378657486 no I only wear one at once - but I do have a few to choose from!
Searching out and buying old jewellery especially at bargain prices is a bit of a hobby
When I get bored of things I either sell them, trade in towards next purchase or donate to DD who never complains

Inspired by this thread, I’m wearing it for the second time in 10 years 😂

I thought it was 3ct, but just counted and there are 38 0.10ct stones so it’s 3.8ct. The original tennis bracelet must have been 48 diamonds (4.8ct) then as I’ve got a bag of loose leftover stones from I had it made into a bangle.

I still think the tennis bracelet/bangle was a waste of money! I bought the Cartier Tank 19 years ago and worn it every day since.

WOW! That is GORGEOUS! How can you only have worn that three times in ten years, how? That's a travesty!

I love your bangle! Did you draw up the design you wanted and get it made by a jeweller?

Your bangle and Cartier tank are gorgeous @ChristmasCwtch

If anyone on the thread is interested in buying a diamond tennis bracelet or diamond bangle oreillysfineart.com have sent me an email of items that didn’t sell at their latest auction (I’m on their email list ) and there are a few diamond bracelets and bangles on their list.
They are based in Dublin and very nice to deal with. A long time in business. Changed ownership fairly recently.
Have a good reputation.
I have no connection whatsoever to the company or their employees except I have been a customer a few times.
Their catalogue is worth a look.
Prices are in euros.

Am I the only person who thought tennis bangles were suitable for people who played tennis- that it wouldn’t jingle around as you made your serve?

I think you may be @Stanislas 😂

The term tennis bracelet originated in the 1980s because chris evert had one or more
It broke while playing a match and they stopped to look for it i think

Ah so they should come with a warning then . A not to play tennis bracelet.

SavBlancinRecovery · 26/06/2026 17:00

Yes and I love it but given its value I tend to only wear it in areas / company I know it’s not going to stand out and may be a target. 😔

user378657486 · 26/06/2026 18:14

I tried out wearing the one I have all day today, but think I'd definitely want something smaller and lighter for daily wear!

Hi @Shinyandnew1 - yes, I tried on a Bulgari diamond bangle and had it copied by a jeweller

Oh darling, put the wine down and get a better hobby.

I have a Swarovski tennis bracelet and wear it everyday. It looks great with my gold Cartier bracelets. It’s obviously not real diamonds but looks stunning.
