Why Bling Authority Bracelets Are Worth It
1. Heavy 18K Plating (Lasts Longer)
Most affordable tennis bracelets use thin plating that wears off quickly—especially on wrists where there's constant friction. Bling Authority uses heavy 18K plating (up to 10x thicker) that resists daily wear.
2. Premium CZ Stones (Better Sparkle)
Cheap tennis bracelets use cloudy, uneven CZ that looks plastic. We use high-grade CZ with crisp faceting and consistent color—many customers say it outshines anything at this price.
3. Secure Clasps (Won't Fall Off)
Weak clasps are the #1 reason people lose tennis bracelets. Our box clasps with safeties are engineered to stay locked during daily wear.
4. Professional Craftsmanship
Every bracelet is crafted by professional jewelers who inspect:
- Stone alignment (no gaps or tilts)
- Prong smoothness (won't snag)
- Even color across all stones
- Clasp security and function

How to Care for Your Tennis Bracelet
