Meridian Oval 3 Carat Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet

An east west oval lab grown diamond tennis bracelet, made to order in our Wembley studio in Perth. Each oval is set on its side so the long axis runs along the wrist rather than across it, and the stones are held in a lowrider setting that sits the diamonds close to the skin instead of raising them on claws.

The result is a flatter, wider band of light than a classic round tennis bracelet. It reads as modern rather than traditional, and it sits beautifully under a cuff because there is almost no height to catch.

Diamond specification

• Stone shape: oval brilliant, 3 x 2 mm, set east west
• Setting: lowrider, a low profile mount that keeps the line close to the wrist
• Total carat weight: approximately 3.00 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

Matching ovals is harder than matching rounds. Every stone has a length to width ratio that must agree with its neighbours, or the line looks uneven even when the colour and clarity are perfect. Joseph, our gemologist, selects and matches the full line by hand 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, and 18 cm suits 16 to 16.5 cm. Most Australian women wear 17 cm or 18 cm.

Craftsmanship

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

What is an east west tennis bracelet?
East west means each stone is rotated 90 degrees so its longest dimension runs along the length of the bracelet rather than across the wrist. It produces a continuous horizontal flow of light and a wider looking line than the same stones set north south.

What is a lowrider setting?
A mount that seats the diamond low against the metal rather than lifting it on claws. It gives a sleeker profile, snags less on clothing, and protects the stone edges. It is the reason this bracelet sits so flat.

How much does it cost?
From $3,490 in 9K gold to $5,890 in platinum 950, depending on length and metal. Every price includes D VVS IGI certified diamonds, hand setting in Perth and free insured shipping.

How long does it take to make?
6 to 8 weeks from order, made to your chosen length and metal in our Perth studio.

How does 3 carat of oval compare to 3 carat of round?
Ovals cover more surface for the same weight because the shape is elongated, so a 3 carat oval line looks larger on the wrist than a 3 carat round line. If you want visible width without paying for more carats, oval is the efficient choice.
