Diamond Bracelets

There’s no rule that states the exact amount of a diamond bracelet. However, the price of a diamond bracelet varies based on several factors which are; the type of metal, the number of diamonds, and the size of diamonds. Generally, the price of a diamond bracelet costs between £1,000 to £100,000. You’d want to focus on the factors that determine the price of a diamond bracelet to ensure you don’t overspend or underspend.

1. The Type of Metal: There’s no best metal when it comes to diamond bracelets as each metal offers its own specific feel and look to suit your taste. However, the most popular metals used for diamond bracelets are rose gold, yellow gold, white gold, and platinum. The rarer the metal, the higher the price. As bracelets are to be worn almost daily, the one factor you’d want to consider when choosing metal is its durability. For example, platinum bracelets are somewhat more expensive than white gold bracelets as a platinum bracelet can cost around £8,500, while the same bracelet in white gold can cost around £7,500 whereas, all golds; rose, yellow, and white, cost about the same price. When trying to work within your budget, if you want platinum but can’t afford the price, opt for white gold as it looks almost the same but is much cheaper. Same way if you want 14K yellow gold but can’t afford it, opt for a lower carat gold which will be much cheaper and even looks identical.

2. The Diamonds: The price of a diamond bracelet is determined by the quality and size of the individual diamonds used. A flawless diamond bracelet could cost over £100,000 while a lower diamond bracelet could cost as low as £1,000. There are, however, several factors to consider when choosing a well-cut diamond bracelet.

a. Cut: A well-cut diamond, although, will make your bracelet appear brighter from every angle, it’ll be more expensive; while cheap diamonds will have a poor light reflection.

b. Clarity: A diamond with higher clarity will definitely cost more as flawless diamonds are the most expensive because they have no inclusions or surface blemishes. While diamonds with lower clarity cost less because they have inclusions or surface blemishes. The clarity of diamond bracelets is rated in terms of Best Quality (VS1-VS2) and Best Value (SI1-SI2).

c. Color: Diamonds are rated in terms of colors, and the closer it is to being colorless, the more expensive it is. Diamonds' color quality is assessed using a 23 color grading scale ranging from D to Z, with the most common color ratings being F-G (best quality) and H-I (best value).

d. Carat Weight: The higher the carat size, the more expensive it is. In some cases, despite having a big carat-sized diamond, if a diamond has a lower cut, clarity, and color value it can cost less than a smaller carat-sized diamond with a higher cut, clarity, and color value.

In the end, the price comes down to your budget, preference, and style. It is advisable to purchase your diamond bracelet from a reputable and reliable jewellery vendor.

Fake diamond bracelets could cost between £10 and £150 depending on the metal or gems used. However, if someone tries selling a fake one at the price of the real one, it’s best to know how to differentiate between real and fake bracelets. Here’s how you can easily find out:

1. Fog test: To perform this test, hold the bracelet near your mouth and exhale on it. Diamonds are naturally good conductors of heat as such, the fog should subside quickly; within 2 seconds. If it takes more than 4 seconds or longer for the fog to subside, it is most likely a fake diamond. Although, this test isn’t completely accurate in telling if a diamond is real or fake.

2. Sparkle test: This test can easily be done at home as it doesn’t require equipment. To perform this test, hold your diamond bracelet under any lamp and examine how it reflects light. Examine how diamonds reflect white and colored light, their contrast, and check for dark areas in the diamond. Diamonds have a mix of white light and flashes of colored light and will exhibit great contrast of white

and dark areas in the diamond. The con of this test is that you have to be skilled in differentiating between the reflective patterns of different diamonds, and it’s not as easy as it sounds. The best way to do this as a beginner is to compare the reflective light from the diamond with another diamond that you know is real.

3. Diamond selector/Diamond Tester: A diamond tester is a device used to test the physical properties of a stone through the use of heat or electrical impulses to detect whether the stone is a diamond. However, devices that use heat can mistake moissanite (a mineral used to imitate diamond) for diamonds as both materials conduct heat in the same way. As such, devices that use electrical impulses are more accurate. Regardless, a diamond Selector is one of the most reliable ways to test if a diamond bracelet is real or not. You can easily purchase it online from Amazon or visit a jeweler to have them check the diamond's authenticity and determine its value.

The easiest way to know the appropriate fit for a diamond bracelet is to know your wrist size through measurement. How? Simply measure your or the person’s wrist with tape. However, if you don’t have a measuring tape with you, you can use a piece of yarn or ribbon and wrap it around your or their wrist, then cut it to size and measure it later.

However, when using a measuring tool, ensure you add between half an inch and 1 inch to your total measurement in order to calculate your bracelet size. For example, if your wrist measures 5 inches, add half an inch or 1 inch to the measurement, making your bracelet fit 5.5 or 6-inch bracelet.

If you’re purchasing a bracelet for someone and you’re unsure of the person’s wrist size, consider using the 7-7.5 guide, which is the most popular bracelet size for women. And if you feel the receiver has a small or large wrist compared to that of the average person, simply adjust the size up or down accordingly.

The right fit for a diamond bracelet should be secure/loose enough that it’s able to move freely without leaving marks on your skin, but not too loose that it can slide off your wrist. The general rule, however, is that if you’re able to fit 1 finger between the bracelet and your wrist, it is the perfect fit.

Diamond bracelets are versatile and as such, can be worn daily. However, although diamonds are seen as being extremely durable and hard, the precious metals used in making bracelets are relatively soft, which enables them to be designed into different forms and shapes. And despite these metals being mixed with other harder metals to make them more durable and retain their form, they can still be scratched or damaged when worn during certain activities.

It is, however, advisable to take off your diamond bracelet before showering for the following reasons:

1. Soap, oils, lotions, and other products can leave a film on the diamond, thus, reducing its brilliance and causing it to sparkle less.

2. Soap and water can wear away gold plating; which is found on affordable bracelets when a less expensive metal is coated with a thin layer of gold. Gold plating is thin, sometimes at 0.5 microns, which makes it easy for the chemicals from soap to wear it away.

3. Most water, depending on where you live, contains a mineral that can alter the appearance of your bracelet. The metal can oxidize, if the bracelet contains gemstones, it can appear opaque; and if it contains thread or textiles, it can become old easily.

4. Your swear and natural body oil, shampoo, lotions, etc can affect the material or metal used, and its appearance. It’s best to take off your bracelet and keep it away from the shower.
