Diamond Bracelets for Women

What factors should I consider when investing in a custom bracelet?

When investing in custom bracelets and personalized jewelry, consider the diamond bracelet design, diamond quality (cut, clarity, color, and carat), warranty coverage, and customization features like the availability of multiple accent stones for a unique, luxurious statement piece.

How many carats should a bracelet have?

The right carat weight for your bracelet depends on your style, budget, and occasion. For a subtle and elegant look, opt for 5-7 carats. However, for a bold statement piece, choose 10-12 carats or more.

Which bracelet style should I choose?

The style of a bracelet defines its design, structure, and overall appearance on your wrist. Popular styles include Tennis Bracelets with continuous diamonds for a timeless look, Chain Bracelets with diamond accents for a casual vibe, Bangle Bracelets for a bold, structured appeal, and other trendy designs for a modern, fashion-forward touch.

What type of diamond should I choose?

You can choose from natural diamonds (rare and valuable) and lab-grown diamonds (lab-grown and affordable), each offering an identical luxury appeal.

What diamond cuts and shapes are available?

The available diamond cuts and shapes are round, heart, pear, emerald, oval, marquise, princess, radiant, asscher, cushion, and straight baguette. The following provides a definition for each.

Which metal is the best for everyday wear?

Choosing the best metal for everyday wear depends on durability, maintenance, and personal style. The best choices include 14K and 18K Yellow, Rose, and White Gold, as well as 950 Platinum. Each of them is explained below:

• 14K Gold: Stronger and more scratch-resistant, ideal for daily wear.
• 18K Gold: Richer in gold content, offering higher value but slightly softer.
• Yellow Gold: Warm, classic, great for vintage or traditional styles.
• Rose Gold: Romantic pink hue, durable, and modern.
• White Gold: Bright, elegant, requires occasional re-plating.
• 950 Platinum: Naturally white, low-maintenance, but prone to scratches.

What are the available accent stone settings?

The available accent stone settings at Fascinating Diamonds are prong, bezel, pavé, shared prong, and channel. Below is a small definition for each:

• Prong Setting: Prong setting uses four or six metal claws to securely hold the diamond in place, letting in more light for extra sparkle
• Bezel Setting: Bezel setting uses a metal rim that fully or partially surrounds each accent stone for a modern and protective finish.
• Pavé Setting: Pavé setting uses minimal metal to set together small diamonds, creating a seamless, shimmering look.
• Shared Prong Setting: Shared prong setting uses fewer metal prongs to hold multiple diamonds, allowing more light for added radiance.
• Channel Setting: Channel setting uses two metal strips to hold diamonds securely in place for a smooth, secure, and sleek design.

How can I ensure the quality of a custom bracelet?

You can ensure the highest quality for your custom bracelet by choosing GIA (for natural diamonds) or IGI (for lab-grown diamonds) certified diamonds, selecting 14K or 18K gold or platinum, and ensuring precise settings with a flawless finish. Request a certificate of authenticity that verifies the metal purity and diamond grading, along with an appraisal for insurance purposes, guaranteeing a genuine and high-quality piece.

Can I add an engraving to my bracelet?

No, engraving isn’t possible on bracelets, as there simply isn’t enough space to accommodate it.

How much does a custom bracelet cost?

At Fascinating Diamonds, custom bracelet costs start at $400 and can go up to $40,000 or more depending on metal type, diamond quality, carat weight, design complexity, and jewelry customization.

How long does it take to design and create a custom bracelet?

At Fascinating Diamonds, the process to design and create a custom bracelet takes 15-20 business days, depending on its complexity.

What if I want to make changes to the design after my bracelet is made?

If you'd like to make changes after your bracelet is made, we'll need to redo the entire process to ensure structural integrity and design precision. This will require additional time and cost, as each piece is meticulously crafted from scratch.

Do custom-designed bracelets come with warranties or guarantees?

All custom-designed bracelets come with a Lifetime Warranty, covering manufacturing defects, complimentary resizing, repairs, and polishing to ensure lasting beauty and a perfect fit.

How do I determine the right bracelet size?

Follow the below step-by-step process to measure your wrist accurately and find the right bracelet size:

• Wrap a Measuring Tape: Place a flexible measuring tape around your wrist at the exact spot where the bracelet will sit.
• Record the Measurement: Note the wrist size in inches or centimeters without adding extra space.
• Add Allowance for Comfort: Add ¼ to ½ inch for a snug fit or ¾ to 1 inch for a loose fit.
• Use a String if No Tape: Wrap a string around your wrist, mark the point, and then measure it against a ruler.
• Compare with Bracelet Size Chart: Match your measurement to the chart below for the best fit.
