Meridian Oval 12 Carat Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Approximately 12 carat of east west oval lab grown diamonds at 6 x 4 mm, hand set in a lowrider mount in our Wembley studio in Perth. This is the largest piece in the Meridian range and the closest a tennis bracelet comes to a solid band of diamond.Each oval is a substantial stone in its own right. Laid end to end along the wrist, they produce a continuous run of light with almost no metal visible between them. It is a commission piece rather than an everyday one.Diamond specification Stone shape: oval brilliant, 6 x 4 mm, set east west Setting: lowrider, a low profile mount that keeps the line close to the wrist Total carat weight: approximately 12.00 carat, varying slightly with length Colour: D, the highest grade on the colour scale Clarity: VVS, inclusions invisible to the naked eye Certification: IGI certified lab grown diamonds Assembling 12 carat of matched D VVS ovals is the hard part of this piece. At 6 x 4 mm every stone is large enough to be judged on its own, so the set has to agree on outline, colour, clarity and cut performance before a single one is mounted. Joseph, our gemologist, assembles the full line personally.Metal Platinum 950: naturally white, never needs replating, and the best structural support for a bracelet of this weight 18K gold, white or yellow: the fine jewellery standard, rich colour and excellent durability 14K gold, white or yellow: a harder alloy at a lower price, practical for everyday wear 9K gold, white or yellow: the most accessible solid gold option and the hardest of the three gold alloys Solid metal throughout in every option, never plated.Choosing your lengthMeasure your wrist, then add 1.5 to 2 cm. 16 cm suits wrists around 14 to 14.5 cm, 17 cm suits 15 to 15.5 cm, and 18 cm suits 16 to 16.5 cm. At this weight a correct fit is critical, because a loose bracelet will rotate and turn the diamonds face down. We recommend a fitting at our Perth showroom before ordering.CraftsmanshipReinforced articulated links, a box clasp and a figure eight safety catch. Each link is hinged so the bracelet follows the curve of the wrist rather than sitting rigid across it. 6 to 8 weeks production, made to your chosen length and metal.Included IGI certification for the lab grown diamonds Lifetime manufacturing warranty against defects in materials or workmanship Free fully insured express shipping Australia wide with signature on delivery Presentation box, velvet travel pouch, polishing cloth and care guide Frequently asked questionsHow much does a 12 carat oval lab diamond tennis bracelet cost? From $10,990 in 9K gold to $15,290 in platinum 950, depending on length and metal. A natural diamond bracelet of the same weight at D VVS clarity would be a six figure piece.How long does it take to make? 6 to 8 weeks from order, made to your chosen length and metal in our Perth studio.Is 12 carat wearable? It is heavier than any other bracelet in the range and it will be noticed. The lowrider setting keeps the profile lower than a claw set piece of the same weight, which helps considerably, but this is jewellery for occasions rather than for the office.Should I insure it? Yes, without question at this value. We supply IGI certification and a valuation on request for your insurer.Can I see it before ordering? Book a consultation at our Wembley showroom in Perth. For a piece at this level we recommend seeing the stone size in person and being measured properly rather than ordering online.Where is it made? Designed and hand finished in our Wembley studio in Perth, Western Australia, delivered free and fully insured to every Australian postcode.
