A herringbone tennis bracelet built on a geometric premise: rectangular and square diamonds sharing corners along a diagonal line.
18K white gold tennis bracelet with alternating emerald cut and princess cut lab grown diamonds in diagonal prong setting, box clasp with safety, 7 inch length.
Available in 14K or 18K gold, white, yellow, or rose. Bracelet length, total carat weight, and stone type can be specified before production.
Most tennis bracelets use one stone shape repeated end to end. This one alternates emerald cuts (rectangular) and princess cuts (square) along a diagonal line, which is not a stylistic choice but a geometric one. Because the two stones have different shapes, their corners align cleanly at each junction when rotated 45 degrees, and the bracelet maintains a constant width along its full length. Try the same diagonal with two stones of the same shape and the pattern reads as arbitrary. This emerald princess cut diamond tennis bracelet only exists because the two cuts make the herringbone math possible.
On the wrist, the surface reads differently as the arm moves: the emerald cuts return long calm flashes through their step facets, the princess cuts return smaller scattered brilliance. The bracelet shifts between two qualities of light depending on angle. Within our tennis bracelets collection, this is the pair built for buyers who already own a classic single-cut tennis line and want a second piece with geometric character.
Four-prong settings on alternating-shape bracelets have one correct position: the corners. Emerald cuts and princess cuts both have their structurally strongest points at the corners, that is where the metal can grip the stone without compromising the crown or pavilion. Prong placement at the corners has a second consequence, the prongs are absorbed into the visual edge where stones meet rather than sticking up between stones. From more than an arm’s length away, the bracelet reads as a continuous diamond surface, the prongs disappear into the herringbone seam.
The box clasp is fabricated to match the bracelet body width exactly, not wider, not narrower. On standard tennis bracelets, the clasp is often wider than the link body and creates a visible step in the line at the wrist underside. On a geometry-driven design, that step would break the diagonal pattern, the herringbone would simply stop at the clasp. Width-matching the clasp keeps the diamond line and the diagonal logic uninterrupted from one end to the other. The safety mechanism is integrated into the clasp face rather than added as an external chain, no visible secondary hardware on the bracelet body.
The bracelet body is 18K solid gold (Au750) in a palladium-dominant alloy, rhodium-plated as a final step after setting and polishing for a clean neutral white finish. The rhodium coat sits over an already-inspected surface so coverage stays even across the outer link face and the prong tips. Stone matching is the bench step that distinguishes this build from a single-cut tennis bracelet, the same E color grade reads differently across emerald and princess cuts because step facets and brilliant facets return light at different intensities. Our setting team in Shenzhen grades all stones as one lot before setting begins, so the two cuts read consistent in face-up tone when worn together. Both natural and lab grown diamonds follow the same grading workflow.
This bracelet is built to order. Length is the decision that matters most for fit, total carat weight is the decision that matters most for visual scale on the wrist. Confirm both before specifying the rest.
Send your wrist circumference and the production team will recommend the correct length within the 6.5 to 7.5 inch range. Add your target total carat weight (or describe the visual scale you want and the team will quote stone size options), your preferred gold karat and color, and your diamond type (lab or natural). If you already own a single-cut tennis bracelet you plan to stack this with, mention the width so the two pieces sit together correctly.
