Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet Styles

When buying a sapphire and diamond bracelet you might want to consider that this precious piece of jewelry comes in a variety of different styles. Perhaps the two most common types of bracelets are the bangles and cuff bracelets. Both are a single piece of metal that wraps around the wrist. A cuff is a wide piece of silver, platinum or gold metal inset with precious stones. The sapphire and diamond bracelet that is a bangle might come in one of two styles - as a hoop that dangles a single charm or as a hoop that is paved with tiny sapphire or diamond stones.

Perhaps the most popular style of sapphire and diamond bracelet is the tennis bracelet that was made very popular by tennis star Chris Evert. This thin inline bracelet hangs like a loose necklace from the wrist. When Chris Evert broke her precious tennis bracelet during a championship game in 1987 and the game had to be stopped so she could hunt around the court for her lost diamonds a huge jewelry trend was sparked. Today tennis bracelets come in all kinds of variations including the ruby and diamond, the tanzanite and diamond, the aquamarine and diamond and the sapphire and diamond bracelet.

You can also find sapphire and diamond bracelets that sit on the upper arm. The best place to find these are museum gift shops that sell reproductions of antiquities. A long time ago all precious sapphire and diamond bracelets were worn on the upper arm so they wouldn't get lost. The origin of the term 'bracelet' is from the Latin 'brachile' meaning 'of the arm'.
