Meridian 3 Carat Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Three carats of D colour VVS lab grown diamonds, hand set in a continuous line and made to order in Perth. The 3 carat Meridian is the most requested weight in the range and the one we build most often for anniversaries, landmark birthdays and wedding day gifts.

At around 2.4 mm per stone the bracelet has clear presence on the wrist without tipping into evening only territory. It is generous enough to feel like an occasion and restrained enough that it does not sit in a drawer for eleven months of the year.

Diamond specification

• Total carat weight: 3.00 carat across the full circumference
• Colour: D, the highest grade on the colour scale
• Clarity: VVS, inclusions invisible to the naked eye
• Cut: Excellent round brilliant
• Individual stone size: approximately 2.4 mm
• Stone count: approximately 55 to 59 diamonds on a 17 cm bracelet
• Certification: IGI certified lab grown diamonds

Every stone is D VVS. On a bracelet this size that consistency is the whole product, because 3 carat spread across mismatched stones looks cheaper than 2 carat spread across matched ones. Joseph, our gemologist, hand matches each diamond for colour, clarity and cut before setting begins.

Metal

• Platinum 950: naturally white, never needs replating, the most durable option for daily wear
• 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 length

Measure your wrist, then add 1.5 to 2 cm. The bracelet should sit snug enough that the diamonds stay facing upward through the day, with room to slide one finger underneath. 16 cm suits wrists around 14 to 14.5 cm, 17 cm suits 15 to 15.5 cm, 18 cm suits 16 to 16.5 cm, 19 cm suits 17 to 17.5 cm, and 20 cm suits 18 cm and above or a deliberately relaxed fit. Most Australian women wear 17 cm or 18 cm.

Craftsmanship and security

Four claw settings, reinforced 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 questions

How much does a 3 carat lab grown diamond tennis bracelet cost in Australia?
The 3 carat Meridian starts at $2,950 in 9K gold and runs to $5,500 in platinum 950, depending on length and metal. A natural diamond bracelet of the same weight and D VVS quality would typically sit well above $30,000.

How many diamonds are in a 3 carat tennis bracelet?
Approximately 55 to 59 on a 17 cm bracelet, each around 2.4 mm. Longer lengths carry more stones at the same individual size, so the total stays at 3.00 carat across every length.

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 3 carat too big for everyday wear?
No. At approximately 2.4 mm per stone the bracelet still sits flat against the wrist and slides under a cuff. It reads as a serious piece of jewellery rather than an accessory, but it is not an evening only bracelet.

Is a 3 carat tennis bracelet a good anniversary gift?
It is the weight we build most often for anniversaries. It carries enough visual weight to mark an occasion, and because the length is chosen at order it can be sized correctly without a later alteration.

Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Pure crystallised carbon, chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds, graded on the same scales by the same laboratories. They typically cost 70 to 90 percent less than mined stones of equivalent quality.

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.
