Women's 6mm White Gold Tennis Bracelet: How a Bold Width Wears

Yes, 6mm is a width you can wear every day. It is the widest tennis bracelet SKRT makes, so every setting reads on its own, and it wears best when you size it with a little room and keep the rest of the wrist simple.

What 6mm looks like

SKRT makes its tennis bracelets in four widths: 3, 4, 5 and 6mm. This is the top of the range, one row of round settings with each one held in its own claws. At 6mm the settings are large enough to read one by one instead of blending into a ribbon. The bracelet has heavy 18K gold plating over a 316L stainless steel core and closes with SKRT's triple-lock latch, one click plus two side clasps.

What White Gold changes

Look at the claws in the close-up. In White Gold they are the same cool white as the settings, so they disappear and the row reads as one unbroken line of light. In Yellow Gold the claws show as small gold dividers between the settings. Neither is better, but if you want the cleanest line, White Gold gives you one.

Sizing a wider bracelet

The bracelet comes in 6, 6.5, 7, 8 and 9 inches. Measure just below the wrist bone with a piece of string. Add 0.5 inch for a fitted wear or 0.75 to 1 inch for a relaxed one. Tennis bracelets sit best with the extra room, and a wide style feels tighter than a slim one at the same size, so if you are between two sizes, go up. Availability moves by size, and the next size up is the safer substitute when yours is not available.

To fasten it on your own, rest the wrist on a table, slide the tongue into the box until it clicks, then fold the two side latches over, one at a time. Open both latches before you take it off.

A quiet wrist

A 6mm row is the statement, so give it room. Keep any second bracelet on that wrist plain or much slimmer than 6mm, and put a watch on the other wrist if you wear one. On a bare wrist the settings read as bright sparks. Beside a dark sleeve, as in the photo below, the row stands out as a clean bar of light.

Matching it to a choker

Three White Gold tennis chokers match this bracelet. For a true pair, wear the Diamond Tennis Choker/ Necklace in White Gold - 6mm, which repeats the same bold row at the neck. If you would rather let the bracelet lead, choose the Diamond Tennis Choker/ Necklace in White Gold - 4mm, a finer line that keeps the neck quieter than the wrist.

The same bracelet in the men's range

This exact bracelet, with the same sizes, is also listed in SKRT's men's range. The listings differ in photos, not in the piece, so choose by wrist measurement, not by label.

Care for a row of claws

Everyday wear, sweat, hand washing and rain are all fine for it. Lotion and perfume go on first and the bracelet last, and it comes off before pools, hot tubs, saltwater and long hot showers. A soft microfiber cloth after wear keeps the claws clear, and the monthly routine is on the Care Instructions page. SKRT's Lifetime Guarantee backs the bracelet.

Quick answers

Which size should I choose for a 6 inch wrist?

6.5 inches is a fitted wear and 7 inches is a relaxed one. Tennis sits best with the extra room, so start with 7.

Is White Gold the same as silver?

No. White Gold is the name of the finish: heavy 18K gold plating in a bright white tone over stainless steel. The only SKRT pieces made of sterling silver are the earrings.

Should I pick 5mm or 6mm?

The 5mm is one millimeter narrower, so the settings are slightly smaller and the bracelet reads a touch quieter. Choose 6mm when you want every setting to show.
