Geometric contrast
The ‘rivière’ bracelet came to be known as the ‘tennis’ bracelet in the late 1980s following an incident on the courts at the US Open. This second-hand piece offers a different take on this jewellery classic. The 750 white gold setting features a precise alignment of 77 brilliant-cut black diamonds. With an estimated total weight of 1.54 carats, these opaque gemstones create a visual contrast with the cool brilliance of the polished metal, resulting in a clean, geometric line.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The structure of this piece is based on a chain of 77 square links, each housing a black diamond. The 4-prong setting ensures each stone is securely held whilst allowing its faceted surface to shine through. The articulated design allows the metal to retain its flexibility of movement. The bracelet’s substantial design ensures a stable fit on the wrist, secured by a ratchet clasp.
Why choose this second-hand bracelet
Purchasing this tennis bracelet second-hand is a sensible choice. Creating a continuous, articulated band, set with 77 diamonds, requires a significant amount of workshop time. This model offers a substantial amount of precious metal and a carefully calculated carat weight, ensuring it remains competitively priced given current bespoke production costs. The piece combines the timelessness of a classic design with precise technical craftsmanship.
