I was sent the bracelet for the purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links.
I don’t wear much jewellery but when I do, I love timeless pieces – jewellery that is beautiful and will stand the test of time. These pieces are special and they are treasured.
Bearing this in mind, I was invited by CARAT* London to review a piece of their jewellery. I could choose between a couple but I chose this tennis bracelet – the Hailey Round Prong Sterling Silver Tennis Bracelet which retails at £249. I opted for the 18cm chain option over the 16cm.
About CARAT*
Founded almost 20 years ago, CARAT* had a simple mission – to create fashion and fine jewellery without using mined gemstones. They started that journey at a gemstone lapidary in East Asia and have continued on until today.
They now have over 100 points of sale around the world and are in many of the leading department stores. They also have a strong celebrity following and have been seen in popular TV shows as well as sponsoring BAFTA.
They truly are a brand you need to know about.
About The Bracelet
The bracelet features a total of 9.5ct eq round brilliant CARAT* stones based on an 18cm length. These are cut and polished using the same techniques that are found in fine jewellery in order to provide the ultimate sparkle.
The bracelet is made from sterling silver with white stones of the Cubic Zirconia type.
What I Thought
When it arrived, I couldn’t believe how beautifully it was packed – a lovely slim white box with a grey lining. The bracelet was held into place and looked stunning. The clasp is great and is really secure – something you don’t find with every bracelet. I felt safe in the knowledge that I would not lose this due to the security of the clasp.
The bracelet is delicate but fits well around the wrist. It is beautiful and is a showstopper of a piece. I wondered why it was called a tennis bracelet so looked it up. Apparently it is because of a tennis player, Chris Evert, playing a match with her diamond bracelet on her wrist. It broke and she halted play to find it. Now these type of diamond bracelets have a secure clasp to stop them from slipping off or breaking as easily.
I’m very impressed by this piece of jewellery. The bracelet is absolutely stunning to look at, is presented well and is extremely affordable for a sterling silver bracelet. It isn’t something I will wear every day as I feel it is too special for that but it isn’t something I will only bring out on extremely special occasions as it is too pretty to have out so rarely.
A few family members have seen the bracelet already and have asked where they can get one too – they, like me, like how beautiful it is and how well presented CARAT* share it.
I’m definitely going to be considering CARAT* for my jewellery needs going forward. Have you ever owned any of their jewellery?
That bracelet is so pretty, I love jewellery that is dainty. That’s a lovely piece of jewellery.
The bracelet itself is absolutely stunning, I love a good tennis bracelet as it looks so smart but impactful x
The tennis bracelet is gorgeous, I love bracelets and bangles and anything sparkly is an aded bonus. I love that tennis bracelets add a subtle bit of sparkly to an outfit
Now that is a fine piece of jewelry! Love the sophisticated details!
The Tennis Bracelet is such a simple bracelet yet it makes such a statement. Glad to hear that they have a strong clasp to stop it from breaking easily
This is such a beautiful bracelet and it does make a statement. I love how sparkly it is, you cannot not notice it. I never heard of a tennis bracelet before but I like the story behind it.
Beautiful bracelet. Simple and elegant. Personally not a fan, love the look but I can barely stand a watch on my wrist lol!
