If you’re wondering where to start with cleaning this piece of jewellery, then we have a guide that takes you through how to clean a tennis bracelet.
How much is a diamond tennis bracelet?
The cost of a tennis bracelet is mainly dependent on the carats of the diamonds on the bracelet, which is one of the 4C’s for diamond quality. This needs to be factored into the buying process so that you buy a bracelet that’s right for your budget.
Our prices for the diamond tennis bracelets we offer in our collection begin from £800 for our Classic 4 Prong Round Diamond Tennis Bracelet. If you’re willing to splash out on a tennis bracelet, the £16,025 Round & Baguette Diamond Tennis Bracelet is a great addition to add to your jewellery collection.

Is it a good idea to clean a tennis bracelet on your own?
Yes. While it’s recommended to get your bracelet professionally cleaned by a professional jeweller, it’s possible that you can clean this type of diamond jewellery yourself. Your tennis bracelet will be susceptible to makeup, perfume and the skin’s natural oils, which can leave your sparkly bracelet looking dull.
Before you decide to clean your diamond bracelet yourself, there are some things that you will need in the cleaning process. By having these things to hand, it’ll make it easier for you to clean the tennis bracelet at home.
What you will need to clean your tennis bracelet
When it comes to what you’ll need to clean your tennis bracelet, you will need warm water, a small bowl, soft toothbrush, washing up liquid, and a microfibre cloth. By using these tools to clean your bracelet, it’ll look just as good as the first time you bought it from a professional jeweller.
How to clean your diamond tennis bracelet in five steps
Now that you have what you need to clean your tennis bracelet, it's time to start cleaning it. If this is the first you’ve ever cleaned any sort of jewellery, it can be quite daunting as you don’t want the diamonds on the bracelet to further lose its sparkle.
Whether you are experienced or new to cleaning diamond jewellery, here’s five steps for how to clean your own tennis bracelet.
Fill a bowl with warm soapy water
The first step is to fill a bowl with warm water. We recommend filling the bowl to the point where the bracelet is completely submerged. Add a few drops of washing liquid and stir it to the point where there’s bubbles starting to form inside the bowl.
Put the bracelet in the bowl of warm water
You should now put the bracelet in the bowl of warm soapy water. It’s worth moving the piece of diamond jewellery around slightly with your finger, which will be able to shift the tougher bits of dirt and grime that builds up with jewellery that’s worn on a regular basis.
Leave the bracelet to soak in the bowl
After you’ve popped the bracelet in the bowl of warm soapy water, you should leave it to soak for around 10-15 minutes. This will allow it to loosen up any stains that are hard to remove when cleaning the bracelet.
Take your bracelet out of the bowl of warm water and gently pat the bracelet dry
The penultimate step is to take the bracelet out of the bowl. You should hold it above the bowl and use the toothbrush to clean the diamonds on the bracelet. It’s worth watching out for any loose diamonds on the bracelet, which can nudge it out of position.
Once you’ve cleaned the bracelet with the toothbrush, gently pat it dry with a microfibre cloth. You should avoid rubbing the bracelet with the cloth as it can get stuck on the prongs of the bracelet.
Drain out any unsecured diamonds from your bracelet with a mesh colander
If you have finished with the cleaning process for your tennis bracelet, get a mesh colander and tip the warm soapy water into the colander. By doing this, it’ll catch any unsecured diamonds that might have popped off the bracelet and allow you to get them reset by a professional jeweller.
