Meridian 5 Carat Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet

Five carats of D colour VVS lab grown diamonds, hand set in a continuous line and finished in Perth. This is the largest weight in the Meridian range and the fullest statement the single row design will carry. At approximately 3.1 mm per stone the bracelet reads as a solid band of light on the wrist.

Clients choose 5 carat for landmark anniversaries and significant celebrations, where the piece is meant to be the thing people notice.

Diamond specification

Five carats of matched D VVS is a serious quantity of high grade material. Sourcing it consistently is the hard part, not setting it. Joseph, our gemologist, assembles and matches the full line personally, because at 3.1 mm a stone that is one grade off in colour or one step down in clarity is visible without a loupe.

Metal

• Platinum 950: naturally white, never needs replating, the most durable option and the best 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 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. At 5 carat a correct fit is critical, because a loose bracelet at this mass will rotate and sit face down.

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 5 carat lab grown diamond tennis bracelet cost in Australia?
The 5 carat Meridian starts at $4,250 in 9K gold and runs to $6,650 in platinum 950, depending on length and metal. A natural diamond bracelet of the same weight at D VVS would typically be well into six figures.

How many diamonds are in a 5 carat tennis bracelet?
Approximately 42 to 46 on a 17 cm bracelet, each around 3.1 mm. Longer lengths carry more stones at the same individual size, so the total stays at 5.00 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 5 carat the largest tennis bracelet VYOR makes?
It is the largest in the Meridian signature range. Heavier bracelets are available as custom commissions, along with alternative stone shapes, bezel and channel settings, and two tone metal combinations. Book a consultation at our Perth showroom or a virtual appointment.

Should I insure a bracelet at this value?
Yes. We supply IGI certification and a valuation on request, which is what most Australian insurers require to add a specified item to a home and contents policy.

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, typically at 70 to 90 percent less cost. That price gap is what makes 5 carat of D VVS possible at this level.

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.
