Before you choose
A bracelet should clear the wrist bone with one finger of slack. Tennis lines wear closer; bangles need to pass the widest part of the hand.
Prongs on a wrist catch sweaters and door frames. Our tennis lines are bezel or half-bezel set for exactly this reason.
A tennis bracelet is only as good as its box clasp and safety eight. Open ours before you buy; it should close like a car door.
Mixed stones in one metal always work together. Matched stones in mixed metals rarely do.
The short answer
Garnet tennis bracelets at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $2,200, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Wine dark red with a hundred lesser known colors behind it. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. A line of matched stones around the wrist, named the day Chris Evert stopped a US Open to find hers.
Wine dark red with a hundred lesser known colors behind it. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Matched color beats matched size. We grade every stone in the line against its neighbors in daylight.
Garnet is 7.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Measure the wrist and add three quarters of an inch for a bracelet, one inch for a bangle.
Tennis lines want safety clasps. Bangles want a hinge if knuckles run large.
Chris Evert’s diamond line snapped mid-match in 1978 and play stopped until it was found. The name never left.
Garnet is 7.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. A bracelet meets desks and door frames all day. Bezels and inline settings survive; high prongs do not.
Garnet is the Jan birthstone and the traditional stone of the 2nd anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
The clasp is the whole risk: ours lock twice, and we check them free at any visit.
Today, one work at $2,200. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
