What are Diamond Tennis Bracelets?
A diamond tennis bracelet is a line bracelet that consists of a single row of small, matching diamonds linked together by a gold, platinum, or silver chain with a secure clasp. Tennis bracelets are known for their elegance, simplicity, and versatility.
Why are they Called Tennis Bracelets?
Line bracelets have been around since the 1920s, but they started being referred to as Tennis bracelets during the 1970s when a tennis player, Chris Evert, started wearing one while making her way to becoming a three-time champion.
When Evert’s bracelet fell off her wrist during the 1987 U.S. Open match, and she asked the officials to pause the game so she could find and retrieve it, the incident drew significant media attention, sealing the name Tennis bracelet from then on.
