According
to history, the word bracelet was originally derived from the Greek
word, "brachile," which translates to "of the arm."
Bracelets have been around since 7,500 BC and Egyptian times. Since
that time, they have been worn in religious or traditional
ceremonies, as well as being given as gifts, to show affection and
love.
In
particular, diamond bracelets have become popular as they are
typically set in quality metals like yellow or white gold or
platinum. They also feature exquisite designs with diamond studs that
will make any outfit look more elegant.
Throughout
history, different Royals have worn famous bracelets designed by
famous designers like Cartier or Bvlgari. Some of these include the
Bvlgari Emerald Suite diamond and emerald bracelet that Elizabeth
Taylor owned. It featured 13 square and rectangular cut sparkling
emeralds, intermingled by square diamonds. The Royals also owned some
interesting and famous bracelets, such as the Duchess of Windsor's
Onyx and Diamond Panther bracelet by Cartier. It was custom made and
looked real.
Alternatively,
Queen Mary prefers a more classic look with a single strand of pearl
bracelet, finished with 2 fancy diamonds as clasps. While you may not
be able to find replicas of these famous bracelets, you'll find
plenty of stunning diamond bracelets online at Kalmar Antiques.
Different kinds of diamond bracelets
Depending
on what kind you prefer, diamond bracelets may be worn individually
or worn together with a few different kinds. Some look best as your
main diamond accessory, where others do well with stacking them or
wearing some on the other wrist. Still, it’s your call as to how
you want to wear your bracelets. Play around with one and the other
and see which goes well with what. For sure, there will be pairs (or
even more) which will look gorgeous when worn together.
- Diamond Tennis Bracelets-Also referred to as diamond line bracelets, tennis bracelets feature thin, stylish bracelet. They come in different settings, ranging from a classic everyday setting with three or four prongs or an elegant bezel pattern to designer tennis bracelets with two-tone metals and intricate designs. Tennis bracelets are flexible and therefore, the length can be adjusted by removing or adding links though most range from six and a half to eight inches. The tennis bracelet changed names from the line bracelet in 1987 when tennis player Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet during a US Open match. The clasp broke, and she stopped the match until it had been relocated.
- Diamond Bangles-Bangles literally slip on your wrist and are meant to be worn loosely. Some, known as the incomplete bangle, feature a small opening on the underside of your wrist so you can slip on sideways instead. As these can't be adjusted select one that fits comfortably. The most common size is around seven inches. In addition, bangles vary in thickness--some are very thin and you may opt to layer several together, while others are thicker. These work well to compliment your everyday attire, and the diamonds cover the entire width of the band, showing plenty of sparkle.
- Diamond and Gemstone Bracelets- These bracelets allow you to choose from many different styles, including exquisite vintage or designer diamond bracelets that add extra details. Supplementing a tennis bracelet with alternating colorful gemstones that add sparkle and pop of color to accessorize your apparel.
- Diamond Charm Bracelets- The bracelet is comprised of metal links, such as white gold or platinum. Each charm is attached to a link around the circumference of the bracelet. Some charms have a family history or symbolism of a name, while other charms are presented for different milestones like 16th birthdays, graduation, or marriage. The charm may be completely created out of diamonds or the diamond may be a focal point like the center of a flower or the inside of a heart.
How to Accessorize with Diamond Bracelets
Now
that you own a gorgeous tennis bracelet, you actually want to wear
it, instead of having it sit in your jewellery box forever. If it's a
designer one and fancier, it's best to wear it with formal wear to
black-tie weddings or the theatre or movie premieres. You can pair
your bracelet with simple diamond studs so it doesn't overpower the
look and consider wearing an elegant diamond pendant. If you choose
to wear more than one bracelet, feature your diamond tennis bracelet
on one wrist and a few simple sterling silver or gold bangles on the
other. Your opponents will get knocked out with your stunning
collection and won’t be able to concentrate on the tennis balls.
