Tips for Putting on a Diamond Tennis Bracelet by Yourself

[kemilia]

I have several bracelets with this style of clasp. What I do is rest/balance the “outside” of the clasp on the underside of my wrist facing away from my body, carefully wrap the bracelet around my wrist (goes towards me first), rest my wrist against my waist and then essentially “stab” towards myself with the inside until it clicks in place. Once I get the two pieces together, I will sometimes “pinch” my thumb and forefinger around the clasp to get it to click, as well.

OMG @DME--I thought I was the only one doing contortions to put on my bracelet!

I also "stab" at the TEENSY hole, when it goes in a bit I put my chin down on it and gently push it all the way in while trying to push in the dinky knob thing on the side (I think that may contract the pointy thing a bit making it slide in easier?). I always allow extra time if I'm going to wear the bracelet, which I do love but sheesh! At least I know there is no way this thing is falling off my wrist.

A tennis bracelet with a bor clasp is pretty much the only bracelet i can put on myself. The other types of clasps are a different story.

Me three lol I assumed everyone did this lol. But IMO you need a bit of extra length to maneuver

My wrists are tiny and I like my bracelets loose. I do agree the extra length makes a difference! It’s not enough to slide off my wrist, but it helps with getting the bracelet on.
