Emerald Cut Moissanite Bezel Tennis Bracelet in 10K 14K 18K Gold and 925 Silver

The Emerald Cut Moissanite Bezel Tennis Bracelet sets a continuous line of emerald cut moissanite around the wrist, each stone held in its own closed bezel. It is made in 925 sterling silver and in solid 10K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose and white, in seven bracelet sizes from 5 inch to 8 inch, and it fastens with a box clasp with a safety latch.

The emerald cut is a step cut, not a brilliant cut. Instead of many small facets scattering light into sparkle, it uses long parallel facets that produce broad flashes and the clear open look often described as a hall of mirrors. Combined with clean rectangular bezels, the result is an architectural, Art Deco leaning bracelet rather than a traditional glittering one.

Why choose an emerald cut bezel tennis bracelet

• Step cut stones give long, broad flashes of light rather than fine sparkle, for a calmer and more deliberate look
• Rectangular bezels sit edge to edge, so the row reads as one continuous band of stone and metal
• Full bezels enclose each stone, leaving nothing to snag on knitwear, hair or cuffs
• The metal rim protects the corners of the emerald cut, which are the most vulnerable points on a step cut stone
• Solid metal throughout rather than plated, in 925 sterling silver or 10K, 14K and 18K gold
• Seven sizes from 5 inch to 8 inch, including the smaller sizes most ranges leave out

Choose your metal

• 925 sterling silver. The most accessible option, with a bright white rim that keeps the design cool and graphic.
• 10K gold. The hardest wearing of the gold options and the most affordable solid gold choice.
• 14K gold. The usual balance between durability and gold content, and the karat most chosen for daily wear.
• 18K gold. The deepest colour and the highest gold content offered here.
• Yellow and rose gold. The bezel becomes a warm frame around each rectangle, which emphasises the Art Deco geometry.
• White gold and silver. The rim recedes and the stones read as a single uninterrupted line.

Choose your bracelet size

Measure your wrist snugly with a tape measure or a strip of paper, then add roughly half an inch to three quarters of an inch so the bracelet moves without sliding over the hand.

• 5 inch and 5.5 inch. Petite and smaller wrists.
• 6 inch and 6.5 inch. Small to average wrists, worn close.
• 7 inch. The most commonly chosen size and the safest choice for a gift.
• 7.5 inch and 8 inch. Larger wrists, or a looser drape.

About moissanite

Moissanite is silicon carbide, first identified by the French chemist Henri Moissan in 1893 in fragments from a meteor crater in Arizona. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, so the moissanite used in fine jewelry today is created in a laboratory.

Its refractive index of approximately 2.65 is higher than that of diamond. In a step cut such as the emerald, that higher refractive index shows up less as scattered sparkle and more as depth and clarity through the open table of the stone. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale moissanite sits second only to diamond at 10. Because it is created rather than mined, it is a conflict free choice and costs a fraction of a mined diamond of comparable size and appearance.

Styling and occasions

This is the tennis bracelet to choose if a classic round line feels too traditional. The rectangular geometry sits naturally with tailoring, clean modern dressing and Art Deco inspired jewelry, and it pairs particularly well with an emerald cut ring. Because the bezels are flush, it stacks against a watch without catching.

It suits weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, graduations and formal events, and works as a gift across anniversaries, Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Christmas and birthdays.

Care and cleaning

• Put the bracelet on after perfume and hand cream, and take it off before washing up or working with your hands.
• Clean it in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush, brushing around the rim of each bezel where residue collects. Step cuts show smudges more than brilliant cuts, so regular cleaning matters.
• Remove it before swimming, hot tubs, household cleaning and the gym.
• Store it flat and on its own in a soft pouch.
• For sterling silver, keep it in a closed pouch between wears and restore the finish with a silver polishing cloth.
• Have the clasp checked periodically if you wear it often.

Frequently asked questions

What is a tennis bracelet

A tennis bracelet is a flexible bracelet made from a single continuous line of matched stones set at even intervals, with no centre stone and no break in the pattern. The name dates from 1987, when professional tennis player Chris Evert stopped a US Open match to look for a diamond line bracelet that had come off during play.

What is an emerald cut

An emerald cut is a rectangular step cut with cropped corners. Its facets run in long parallel lines rather than the many small triangular facets of a brilliant cut, which produces broad flashes of light and a clear view into the stone rather than fine sparkle. It was originally developed for cutting emeralds, which is where the name comes from.

How does this differ from a round tennis bracelet

A round brilliant line sparkles in many small points and reads as traditional. An emerald cut line gives fewer, larger flashes and a cleaner geometric outline. Emerald cut stones also sit flatter and squarer against the wrist, so the bracelet looks like a continuous band rather than a row of dots.

Why bezel set rather than prong set

A bezel wraps metal fully around each stone. On an emerald cut this matters more than on a round stone, because the corners of a step cut are its weakest points and a bezel covers them. It also keeps the outline crisp and rectangular, and leaves nothing to snag.

How do I choose a tennis bracelet size

Measure your wrist snugly, then add about half an inch to three quarters of an inch. If you cannot measure, 7 inch is the most commonly chosen size.

Is this solid gold or gold plated

The gold options are solid 10K, 14K or 18K gold throughout, not plated. The silver option is 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent pure silver.

Can it be worn every day

Yes. Moissanite is hard enough for daily wear at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, and bezel settings are among the most practical for a bracelet because there are no prongs to catch or work loose.

Will it tarnish

Solid gold does not tarnish. Sterling silver can darken over time through contact with air and skin, which is normal and reversible with a silver polishing cloth.
