The heritage of the tennis bracelet

Yes. La Marqueuse tennis bracelets are certified by a valuer and international HRD diamond expert, with the document confirming the parameters of the stones and gold in line with CIBJO standards.

The stones in La Marqueuse tennis bracelets are assessed by Urszula Dmowska-Gęsiorek, an international diamond expert holding an HRD diploma. The selection considers not only the stones' parameters but also how they form an even line of light in the finished bracelet.

At La Marqueuse, we select natural G VS diamonds in full brilliant cuts for our tennis bracelets. The whole set is selected as one: colour, clarity, stone diameter, crown height and cut proportions.

In a tennis bracelet, every stone is part of a single line. Even a small difference in colour, size, crown height or cut quality can disrupt the rhythm of light across the whole composition.

Yes, provided it has been properly designed and crafted. What matters most is stable settings, a secure clasp, the right length and regular servicing: checking the clasp, settings and stone stability.

A secure tennis bracelet should have a box clasp hidden within the line of stones, together with side safety catches. At La Marqueuse, we use a double figure-eight safety catch on both sides of the clasp.

Catching can result from prongs that sit too high or are poorly shaped, from microscopic play in the setting, or from unfinished links. At La Marqueuse, the setting is done under a microscope, and the finished bracelet undergoes a comfort and safety check.

A good length means the bracelet sits freely without slipping too far down over the hand and thumb. A bracelet that is too long moves around more and catches on objects more easily, and repeated tugging places strain on the weakest points of the construction over time: the links between segments. This is why pieces worn too loosely are more prone to damage after a few years of wear. At La Marqueuse, the standard tennis bracelet length is 18cm, though every model can be shortened or made to a bespoke length.

La Marqueuse tennis bracelets are made exclusively in 18k gold: yellow, white or rose. The collection includes models set with natural diamonds as well as gemstones such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

A tennis bracelet should be cleaned regularly to remove residue from cosmetics and everyday wear. Once a year, it is worth bringing it in for servicing, which includes checking the settings, clasp and stone security.

It is best to remove a tennis bracelet before sleeping. During sleep, jewellery can be exposed to pressure, strain or catching on fabric, which affects the settings and clasp over time.

La Marqueuse tennis bracelets are made in our Warsaw Atelier. Every model is crafted in 18k gold with natural diamonds or gemstones.
