How it is made
Three steps, by hand
A tennis bracelet is forty-odd separate settings. What separates two of them is how long someone spent on each one.
- Step one
Set by hand
Every stone is seated in its own setting and the prongs closed one at a time. Machine-set lines are pressed out in a strip, which is why they sit unevenly when you look down the length of one.
- Step two
Polished 7x
Seven passes before it leaves the bench. That is what the shine is β not a coating over a rough surface, but a surface that was made smooth first.
- Step three
Closed twice
A box catch that clicks shut, and a hinged safety latch folded over the top. Two independent closures, because the clasp is the part that fails first and the reason most people stop wearing one.
Photographed from our own pieces
Over time
How it holds up
You have probably owned a piece that looked right for a month. Here is what happens to this one.
-
Day one
It goes on and it stays on. Shower, gym, sea. There is nothing to take off and nothing to remember.
-
Drawn, not photographed
After a year
The finish is 0.1 micron rhodium and 0.1 micron palladium over 925 sterling silver, with an anti-tarnish top coat. That is a daily-wear specification, not an occasional-evening one.
-
After five years
316L stainless steel or 925 sterling silver underneath, all the way through. The metal under the finish is the same metal all the way down.
What it is made of
The materials, named
Most costume jewelry will not tell you what is under the gold. These are the four things ours is built from.
316L stainless steel
The base, tennis line
Solid 316L all the way through, not a thin gold flash over a cheaper core. It does not bend or flake. Every tennis piece is built on it.
925 sterling silver
The base, moissanite line
Solid sterling, all the way through. Not a thin layer of silver over a cheaper metal underneath.
14k gold
0.3 micron, electroplated
Thickness is the whole difference between a finish that lasts and one that wears through. Ours is 0.3 micron of 14k gold.
Rhodium and palladium
0.1 micron each, anti-tarnish coat
Two thin white layers over the sterling, then an anti-tarnish coat. That is what keeps the white metal white on the moissanite line.
The record
What the numbers say
Four figures, and the record each one comes from. A number without a source is decoration.

The difference
Why you can wear it 24/7
Most of what separates two tennis bracelets happens before either one is photographed. Here is what is different about ours.
| Feature | MyLove MyTreasure | Typical plated jewelry |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal | 316L stainless steel or 925 sterling silver | Plated over a cheaper core |
| Gold finish | 0.3 micron 14k gold electroplate | Gold flash, often under 0.175 micron |
| Silver finish | 0.1 micron rhodium + 0.1 micron palladium, anti-tarnish coated | Bare plate, tarnishes |
| In water | Shower, pool and sea | Remove before contact |
| Under the finish | The same metal all the way down | A different, cheaper metal |
| Clasp | Double-lock box clasp, two closures | Single lobster clasp |
| If it arrives faulty | Free replacement within 14 days | Often paid, or store credit |
Micron figures are the deposited coating thickness. The FTC threshold for describing a finish as βgold electroplateβ is 0.175 micron. βTypical plated jewelryβ describes the category we are most often compared against, not any single named brand.
