Can I see one before I buy?
Visit the store at 64 W 47th St: text or call 212-872-9692 first (a person answers from 10 AM ET), and a jeweler tells you what the store has that day. The chat on this page answers too: our AI at night, people from 10 AM.
TraxNYC has been the jewelry store on 47th Street since 2004; see our showroom. Want a lab-grown diamond tennis chain? Every lab-grown tennis chain here is also on lab-grown diamond chains, beside the lab-grown pendants. Our blog has a diamond tennis chain guide. For a stone size or length not listed here, ask about a custom chain.
Stone size sets the width
Many titles here give the stone size in points; a point is a hundredth of a carat, so a 10 pointer chain is set with tenth-carat stones. The stone sets the width: in a single row of round diamonds here, a 3 pointer makes a chain about 2.5 mm wide, a 10 pointer about 3.5 mm, a 20 pointer about 4 mm and a 30 pointer about 4.5 mm. The carat total counts every stone, so with the same stones it grows with the length.
How wide should a man's tennis chain be? Is 2 mm too thin?
The width listed most here is 4 mm. Under 3 mm isn't too thin if you want a fine line: it sits well under a collar, beside another chain or with a pendant. Worn alone to be seen, go 4 mm or wider, and 5 mm and up is the bold end. Hanging a pendant on it? Send a jeweler both item numbers and we'll check that the chain fits the bail.
