Men's Tennis Jewelry

Men's tennis jewelry: where to start

Tennis jewelry means one unbroken line of stones, each in its own small setting, so the piece flexes like a chain. For men, the easiest way in is the bracelet: it is smaller than a tennis chain, sits next to a watch, and reads as a detail rather than a statement. That is why our tennis line is two bracelets, in steel set with cubic zirconia.

How to judge a tennis piece

• The stones: ours are cubic zirconia, a lab-made stone cut with many facets. Say it plainly when you give it as a gift; it shines well and needs no special care.
• The setting: each stone should sit in its own prongs rather than share them with its neighbor. Both of our bracelets are set that way, in four-prong settings.
• The base: titanium steel or stainless steel. A steel base does not rust and keeps its shape.
• The width: 3 mm is discreet, 4 mm is the everyday middle, 5 or 6 mm is worn alone.

Our two tennis bracelets

To size one, measure your wrist and add 0.5 to 1 inch. The men's tennis bracelets page goes through sizing step by step.

Wearing stones without overdoing it

One stone-set piece at a time is the rule that rarely fails. If the tennis bracelet is on, keep the neck plain: a simple steel chain, no stones. If you want stones at the neck instead, a stone-set Cuban such as the Cuban link chain with cubic zirconia does the job, and the wrist stays bare or gets a plain bracelet. All our stone-set chains are on the Cuban chains page.

Care

Shower, sea and pool are fine. Rinse with clean water after the sea or the pool and dry with a soft cloth, which also lifts soap film from under the stones. Remove it for heavy lifting so the prongs are not knocked. Perfume and chlorine wear a gold-tone plating over time.
