Fine Jewelry Spotlight 2024: Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelets

Lab grown diamonds are gaining popularity and are expected to reach $59.2 billion in the global market by 2032 according to Allied Market Research. This trend is driven by factors like their ethical sourcing, lower cost compared to natural diamonds and increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues. Their growing popularity is reflected in various sectors of the industry, including at major events like New York Bridal Fashion Week.

As we progress through 2024, the lab grown diamond tennis bracelet emerges as a standout piece, celebrated for its timeless elegance and versatile style. The excitement around tennis bracelets has received an extra boost from the new tennis-themed movie Challengers, starring style icon Zendaya. Big-name celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rihanna have also been seen wearing tennis jewelry, making it the must-have accessory of the season. 

According to Google Trends, searches for “lab grown tennis bracelets” have picked up over the last 12 months, peaking in November 2023. This surge shows that tennis bracelets are more than just a passing trend—they’re here to stay as a top choice for stylish jewelry.

The History of Tennis Bracelets

The term “tennis bracelet” has an interesting and rather glamorous origin tied to the sport of tennis. While in-line diamond eternity bracelets have been popular since the 1920s, the name “tennis bracelet” didn’t catch on until a memorable incident involving tennis star Chris Evert during the 1987 US Open. 

Known for her skills on the court, Evert was equally famous for her style icon status, often seen wearing her diamond bracelet while playing. During one intense match, her diamond bracelet snapped off her wrist and fell onto the court. Evert immediately asked the officials to pause the game to search for her bracelet, a moment that not only captivated viewers but also highlighted her sparkling accessory.

This incident caught the public’s attention and from that point on, the elegant string of in-line diamonds became known as a “tennis bracelet.” The design, typically featuring a symmetrical pattern of diamonds set in a narrow chain, was not new. 

However, Evert’s moment brought it renewed fame and desirability, transforming it into a symbol of luxurious athleticism. Since then, tennis bracelets have been associated with sporty chic and classic elegance, making them a popular choice for jewelry lovers worldwide.

Popular Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet Designs for 2024

Lab grown diamond bracelets continue to be a big hit in the fashion industry. These stylish bracelets are available in a range of designs that appeal to every taste, from classic elegance to modern flair. Take a closer look at some of the most popular styles this year. 

  • Classic prong setting. The classic prong setting is a timeless choice for diamond tennis bracelets. Each lab grown diamond is securely held in place by small metal prongs—usually four or six—which gently grip the stone. This setting is not only elegant but also very practical. It exposes more of the diamond’s surface to light, allowing a spectacular amount of sparkle and brilliance to shine through. 
  • Bezel set glamor. The bezel or half-bezel set is a modern take on diamond settings that’s sleek and secure. The lab grown diamonds are individually encased in a metal frame, which protects the edges of the stone and gives the bracelet a smooth, contemporary look. The continuous metal surround creates a seamless flow of sparkle and is ideal for jewelry lovers who lead active lifestyles, as it keeps the diamonds safely in place with minimal risk of snagging on clothing or other objects.
  • Delicate mini bracelets. Mini bracelets are gaining popularity for their subtle, minimalist design. These slender, understated pieces are perfect for those who prefer their jewelry to complement rather than dominate their look. The mini style is loved for its versatility—it pairs beautifully with other bracelets, making it ideal for stacking. You can mix and match different bracelet styles for a personalized look or layer several mini bracelets together for a textured effect.

Their delicate style also means they won’t overpower statement pieces like a diamond ring. This makes mini bracelets a fantastic choice for everyday wear, allowing you to add just a hint of sparkle without overwhelming your overall ensemble. 

  • Alternative shapes and colors. Moving beyond the classic round cut, diamond cuts like emerald and Asscher are gaining traction. These cuts offer a unique visual appeal with their distinct angular facets and add a touch of vintage elegance to any lab grown diamond bracelet.

Colored diamond rings and bracelets also make a splash in the jewelry scene. Available in hues like pink, blue and yellow, these diamonds let you express your personal style while maintaining the brilliance diamonds are known for. 

Why Choose Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelets in 2024?

Following the rise in popularity of lab grown diamond engagement rings, tennis bracelets with cultivated diamonds are the next big trend in the jewelry world. These bracelets offer the same stunning quality and brilliance as those with naturally mined diamonds but at a more accessible price point. 

Whether you’re drawn to the classic elegance of a prong setting, the sleek protection of a bezel set or the unique flair of alternative shapes and colors, there’s a design out there to suit your taste and style.

Opting for a lab grown diamond tennis bracelet in 2024 is a choice in favor of versatility. These bracelets can effortlessly transition from casual looks with jeans and a t-shirt to the most sophisticated evening outfits. They’re ideal for elevating everyday attire with a hint of luxury or for presenting as a memorable gift.

With their seamless blend of classic elegance and modern appeal, lab grown diamond tennis bracelets are more than just a fashion statement—they’re an investment in enduring beauty.

Corner Bar Management and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) have unveiled “Downtown Las Vegas Nightlife in One Take,” a 2:40 continuous, one-shot drone video that miraculously weaves in and out of Corner Bar’s clubs, bars and restaurants, all located on the same block on East Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. Produced by industry innovator JayByrd Films and set to “Joy Ride” by Las Vegas’ own The Killers, the cutting-edge video features one of the most intricate drone shots ever captured.

“We sought to create a video that captures the vibrant spirit of Fremont East, a curated collection of unique nightlife spots designed for the ultimate bar crawl,” said Ryan Doherty, founder of Corner Bar Management, the mastermind behind some of Downtown Las Vegas’ most talked-about bars, clubs, and restaurants. “What JayByrd Films captured with their bird’s-eye view surpassed all my expectations.

The video has also been posted on the DTLV YouTube channel, linked here.

The cinematic first-person perspective transports viewers into an electrifying Saturday night on East Fremont Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and Carson Avenue. The single-shot video highlights the whimsical charm of Park on Fremont, the underground beats of Discopussy, the colorful, mezcal-fueled ambiance of Lucky Day, the convergence of music and art at We All Scream, the cheeky spirit of Cheapshot, the modern Tulum vibes at La Mona Rosa, and unparalleled nightlife and live music at Commonwealth. Corner Bar Management’s bars typically host around 6,000 guests on a weekend night.

The final video, capturing seamless continuous shots across each of the seven destinations, required numerous takes. Directed by Jay Christensen and Doherty, with Christensen also serving as the drone operator and director of photography, the video showcases the unique perspective of Downtown Las Vegas using a GoPro Hero 12 mounted on a custom-built sub-250 drone. The video was produced by Emily Erhart, with Gian Lorenzo Ferretti as the assistant camera and Erik Nelson as co-producer. Post-production sound design was completed by Taylor Lewin and Christensen. The Killers, known for their affection and support for their hometown of Las Vegas, provided licensing for “Joy Ride” to accompany the video.

The Ultimate Guide to Exedy Clutches

Performance, Benefits, and Installation


Understanding the Crucial Role of a Clutch

Before discussing the specifics of Exedy clutches, it’s important to understand the essential role a clutch plays in the function of a vehicle. Optimally placed between the vehicle’s engine and transmission, a clutch manages the engagement and disengagement of the engine’s powers to the wheels. This purposeful control is particularly essential when starting a vehicle from a standstill, shifting gears, and coming to a halt.

When choosing a new clutch for your vehicle, there are three elements you should consider: quality, performance, and price. And this is where the Exedy clutch enters the equation.

Stand-Out Features of Exedy Clutches

Exedy is globally recognized as a leading manufacturer of automotive clutches. It boasts a wide array of products that cater to various vehicle models, irrespective of whether they’re meant for track or normal road usage.

Superior Materials and Construction

What sets an Exedy clutch apart from its rivals is its exceptional construction using high-quality materials. The company utilizes a wide range of components from organic to cerametallic, aiming to cater to varying driver preferences and needs. The result of this thoughtful construction is a durable and reliable clutch which delivers superior performance.

Engineered for Performance

Many automotive enthusiasts vouch for Exedy clutches as their top choice for high-performance applications. They are designed to withstand the demands of high-powered engines and challenging driving conditions, making them suitable for racing vehicles and other high-powered applications.

Diverse Range of Options 

Whether you’re a regular driver seeking a reliable clutch for daily use or a motorsports enthusiast looking for a high-performing racing clutch, Exedy offers a vast range of options to fit all driving styles and requirements.

Benefits of Opting for an Exedy Clutch

Now that we understand what makes an Exedy clutch unique let’s talk about the specific benefits of having one installed in your vehicle.

Reliable Performance

Exedy clutches provide a reliable performance, thanks to the company’s commitment to using only top-tier materials. With their products, you can expect smoother gear transitions and more responsive acceleration.

Longevity and Durability

Given their robust construction and high-quality materials, Exedy clutches usually have a longer lifespan compared to other brands in the market. They’re able to survive the rigours of everyday use as well as aggressive driving conditions.

Excellent Hitting Power 

In the world of automotive gear, hitting power refers to how efficiently a clutch can transmit engine force to the transmission. With their superior construction, Exedy clutches are particularly well-equipped to transfer hitting power efficiently, resulting in better vehicle performance.

User-friendly Operation 

Despite their robust nature, Exedy clutches typically provide a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. The feather-touch operability of these clutches makes gear shifting an effortless task while also reducing driver fatigue.

Keys to Successful Exedy Clutch Installation

Even the best exedy clutches will fall short of expectations without proper installation. The clutch must be impeccably aligned with the engine and transmission for optimal performance. When it comes to Exedy clutches, a proper installation procedure is the key to extracting superior performance, longevity, and reliability.

Using the Right Tools

Before installing exedy clutch, it is important to have the appropriate tools. This kit should include items like clutch alignment tools, a torque wrench, socket set, and a jack stand to support the vehicle securely during the process.

Aligning the Clutch

A crucial part of the installation process is aligning the Exedy clutch correctly. This involves aligning the clutch disc with the pilot bearing and positioning the pressure plate to bolt directly to the flywheel. Misalignment can lead to serious performance issues and even damage to the clutch itself. 

Tightening the Bolts

Once everything is aligned, the next step is to tighten the flywheel and pressure plate bolts to the required specification. Over-tightening these components could result in damage, while under-tightening could lead to the clutch slipping and wearing out prematurely. 

Reinstalling the Transmission

The final step involves reinstalling the transmission and other removed parts and ensuring everything is back in place. Run a final check to ensure everything is tightened and functioning correctly.

Professional Installation is Key

Although it’s possible for an enthusiast with a well-equipped garage to install an Exedy clutch, it’s usually recommended to have a professional do the job. The complexity of the process and the importance of achieving perfect alignment makes a compelling case for utilizing professional services with ample experience in handling Exedy installations.

Getting the Best Out of Your Exedy Clutch

The moment an Exedy clutch is installed, a noticeable revamp in vehicle performance will be experienced. However, maintaining the optimal function of a clutch is just as critical as the process of choosing it. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your Exedy clutch.

Regular Maintenance 

Just like other parts of a vehicle, regular maintenance is essential when it comes to maintaining the health of your clutch. Regular inspection for signs of wear, coupled with periodic adjustments, can go a long way in ensuring your Exedy clutch serves you for extended periods.

Hydration Levels

It’s critical to ensure that your clutch hydraulics are always at an optimal level. Low hydraulic levels can easily lead to premature wear and tear or even irreversible damage to your clutch system.

Gentle Usage

Aggressive driving habits such as sudden acceleration or braking can cause immense strain on your clutch, consequently affecting its lifespan. Therefore, adopting smooth and steady driving habits is an effortless way to enhance the life of an Exedy clutch.

The Complete Exedy Line Up: Choosing the Right Clutch for You

The variety of choices available in Exedy’s product line ensures that there’s an option suitable for every kind of driver. Here’s a rundown of some main clutch types in the Exedy range, and what makes them unique.

Designed for daily drivers, the standard replacement clutch kit offers exceptional reliability and sustainability. It replicates the driving experience of the original components, making sure that driving transitions feel smooth and manageable.

High-Performance Racing Clutch Kit

As the name suggests, this kit is designed for vehicles driven under extreme conditions, such as motor racing. They demonstrate an impressive tolerance for heat and high RPMs.

Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit

Organic clutch kits function optimally for ordinary street use. They provide a slight increase of torque while maintaining a smooth engagement. Minimal modifications are necessary for installation, making this kit suitable for casual drivers whose focus is more on ease of driving than high performance.

Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit

Cerametallic clutches perform excellently in applications needing increased torque, such as modified road cars and light track use. They offer a higher burst strength due to their high-heat engage/disengage performance.

Stage 3 and 4 Hyper Single and Multi-Plate Clutch Kit

These are top-of-the-line Exedy clutches, catering to serious track racers and the powerful road car. With different plate designs and configurations, these clutches handle extreme torque requirements while still permitting reasonable driving comfort and control.

Wrapping Up

Whether you’re just starting and learning the ropes in the world of automotive vehicles or an experienced racing enthusiast, there is an Exedy clutch designed to fulfill your performance expectations. The decision to choose one should be based not only on the vehicle type and the performance level you desire but also on your personal driving habits and goals.

So, whether your next journey takes you to the grocery store or the race track, there’s an Exedy clutch ready to be your trustworthy companion, ensuring smooth operations and performance reliability.

OAKLEY – MOONVEIL

Oakley releases Moonveil, a limited-edition collection that fuses elevated design and innovation to create a whole new genre of headgear. Moonveil made its debut in the animated Future Genesis short film as a holographic projection.

It includes interchangeable dual Prizm™ lens shields on a swivel system, allowing wearers to adapt intuitively to changing light conditions. The Prizm™ 24K lens provides maximum eye protection and reduces light transmission for bright environments, while the Prizm™ Low Light lens increases light intake for when it is darker. The cloak is complete with zip-off front closures for a customizable fit, allowing open-faced styling or complete anonymity, based on individual preference. 

The hyper-limited release includes just 100 serialized units. Each Moonveil will include original concept sketches from Oakley product designers and the Future Genesis ashcan preview comic by Dark Horse, which portrays Moonveil on the back cover.
