Diamond Bracelets

Absolutely! A custom diamond bracelet can be designed to complement your engagement ring or other jewellery, using matching diamond shapes, settings, or metal types. Whether you want a similar design aesthetic or a completely unique creation, Matthew Ely can craft a piece that reflects your personal style.

Yes, you can wear a diamond bracelet every day, especially if it’s a well-crafted piece like a tennis bracelet, designed for both elegance and durability.

However, daily wear comes with considerations—ensure your bracelet has a secure clasp to prevent accidental loss and avoid activities like workouts or heavy lifting that could loosen the diamonds or scratch the metal. Regular cleaning with mild soapy water and periodic professional check-ups will help maintain its brilliance.

To determine if a diamond bracelet is real, consider these key factors:

The Fog Test: Breathe on the diamonds—if they fog up and stay foggy for a few seconds, they may be fake. Real diamonds disperse heat quickly, so the fog should disappear almost instantly.

The Sparkle Test: A real diamond reflects white (brilliance) and rainbow (fire) light intensely. If the stones appear dull or overly colorful, they may not be genuine diamonds.

The Metal Setting: A genuine diamond bracelet is usually set in high-quality metals like platinum, white gold, or yellow gold. Look for hallmarks such as "18K," "750," "PT950," or "PLAT." If the setting is cheap or lightweight, it’s a red flag.

The Loupe Test: Using a jeweller’s loupe, check for tiny inclusions or imperfections inside the stones. Most real diamonds have natural flaws, while fake ones (like cubic zirconia or moissanite) are often too perfect.

The Water Drop Test: Drop a loose stone into a glass of water. A real diamond sinks due to its density, while many imitations float or sink slowly.

Professional Testing: The most reliable way to confirm authenticity is to take your bracelet to a professional jeweller like Matthew Ely.

To clean a diamond bracelet at home, mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap and let the bracelet soak for 10–15 minutes to loosen dirt and oils. Gently scrub around the diamonds and settings with a soft toothbrush, then rinse with clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. For extra shine, give it a light polish before storing it safely in a jewellery box.

For a deeper clean and expert care, bring your bracelet into Matthew Ely Jewellery for a professional cleaning and inspection to keep it sparkling like new.

A diamond bracelet adds effortless elegance to any look, whether worn solo or stacked.

For a classic touch, opt for a tennis bracelet—it pairs beautifully with both casual and formal outfits.

To make a statement, layer multiple bracelets, mixing metals and textures for a modern twist.

Ensure a snug yet comfortable fit; it should move slightly on your wrist but not slide off.
