What does 5.00CT mean on a tennis bracelet?

It is the total diamond weight of all the stones combined, not the size of any single diamond. The carats are spread across the full line of stones.

Is 14K white gold a good choice for a diamond bracelet?

Yes. 14K white gold is durable enough for regular wear and gives the diamonds a bright, cool backdrop. It is softer than 18K, so prongs should be checked periodically.

Can a 5 carat tennis bracelet be worn every day?

It can, but the prong settings and high total carat weight make it more exposed to knocks and snags. Many owners reserve it for evenings and special occasions.

How does 5.00CT compare with a 2 or 3 carat tennis bracelet?

The higher total weight means more or larger diamonds along the line, so it looks fuller and brighter on the wrist. It is also heavier and more formal than lighter bracelets.

What should I check when it arrives?

Confirm the clasp closes securely and that every prong sits flat against its stone. Look for a stamp indicating 14K gold and a tag or paperwork stating the total diamond weight.
