What is a tennis bracelet?
Tennis bracelets are a classic design that consists of a symmetrical row of diamonds in a single line. They are most commonly set in gold or platinum. We dive into the history of tennis bracelets and show you why they are so popular
Why is it called a tennis bracelet?
The history of the tennis bracelet dates back to the 1920s when it was initially known as an ‘eternity bracelet.’ The term “tennis bracelet” became popular in the 1970s when professional tennis player Chris Evert started wearing a diamond bracelet during matches, symbolizing a shift towards low-key luxury in fashion. The name “tennis bracelet” gained further prominence in the 1980s, with a famous story linking it to Chris Evert losing her diamond bracelet during the 1987 U.S. Open. However, historical evidence suggests that the term was already used before this incident, possibly dating back to the 1970s. The style’s association with practicality, flexibility, and lightweight design made it a favorite among tennis players and jewelry enthusiasts alike. Despite some discrepancies in the exact timeline, Chris Evert’s influence on popularizing the tennis bracelet remains significant throughout its history.
Diamond & gold tennis bracelets: The perfect match
- Diamond shape – The diamond’s shape refers to the geometric shape it appears to be. Diamonds are split into two categories: round and fancy. They can include Round Brilliant, Princess, Cushion, and more.
- Diamond color – Diamond colors range from colorless to lightly colored. All the diamonds included in tennis bracelets will be matched for the same color, shape, and quality.
- Diamond clarity – Diamond clarity refers to inclusions or blemishes in gems. We can almost guarantee a perfect match for each stone making up the tennis bracelet when using lab-grown diamonds.
- Diamond size – A diamond’s size (really the weight) refers to how big it looks when viewed from above. In a tennis bracelet, every diamond in that line must be the same size. This, too, is easier when using lab-grown diamonds.
