Caring for your Tennis Bracelet

Your Musson tennis bracelet is designed to be worn, loved and enjoyed as part of everyday life. At the same time, it is a finely crafted piece of jewellery, and a little care will help it remain beautiful, secure and brilliant for many years to come.

The following guidance is here to help you feel confident wearing your bracelet, knowing how to care for it and when to have it checked.

Safely securing the Clasp

Musson tennis bracelets feature a double-security clasp designed to suit everyday wear while helping keep your bracelet secure when used correctly.

To support the longevity of the clasp, the bracelet should always be opened and closed with the security catch in the open position. Opening or closing the bracelet while the security catch is engaged can place unnecessary stress on the clasp and may cause it to bend or weaken over time.

When fastening your bracelet, begin with the security catch open. Secure the clasp first, then gently close the security catch until it clicks into place. You should feel and hear a distinct click, confirming the bracelet is properly secured.

We recommend fastening your bracelet over a soft surface such as a bed or table. Once on, give the clasp a gentle tug to ensure it is secure. If the clasp does not feel quite right, or the movement or articulation of the links feels different than usual, it is best to stop wearing it and have it checked. We are always happy to take a look.

Everyday Wear

Tennis bracelets are elegant and delicate by nature. To protect your bracelet, we recommend removing it when:
- Sleeping
- Exercising or playing sport
- Showering, swimming or using spas
- Gardening, cleaning or doing any manual work
- Applying perfume, hairspray, sunscreen or lotions

Everyday knocks, pressure and chemicals are the most common causes of wear over time. While diamonds are exceptionally durable, the fine gold settings that hold them benefit from a little consideration.

Cleaning at Home

A simple clean at home will help your bracelet keep its sparkle between professional services.
- Use warm water with a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid
- Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, especially underneath the diamonds
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth

Storage

When your bracelet isn’t being worn:
- Store it flat in a lined jewellery box or soft pouch
- Keep it separate from other pieces to prevent scratching
- Avoid leaving it clasped under tension for long periods

Thoughtful storage helps maintain both the finish of the gold and the structure of the bracelet.

Professional Servicing

We recommend having your tennis bracelet professionally checked every 12 months, or more often if it’s worn frequently. This allows our expert jewellers to:
- Check the security of each diamond
- Inspect the clasp and safety catch
- Professionally clean and refresh the piece if needed

If you ever notice movement in the diamonds, changes in how the bracelet sits, or any concerns with the clasp, we recommend stopping wear and bringing it into the boutique as soon as possible. Early checks help prevent unnecessary damage or stone loss.

Enjoy Wearing It

Your tennis bracelet was chosen to be enjoyed, not hidden away. With regular care and occasional checks, it will continue to look beautiful and feel secure for many years, becoming a piece that holds meaning as well as elegance.
