Women’s Tennis Bracelet

Tennis fashion has been having a moment lately. From cozy tennis sweaters to pleated workout skirts, many are embracing the #tenniscore look.

But there’s one tennis accessory that’s truly timeless and classic: the diamond tennis bracelet. Read on to learn more about this iconic jewelry piece. And find out how you can get your very own.

The History

The tennis bracelet has long been a jewellery staple, and there are many reasons why. These dainty pieces are perfect for pairing with dressier outfits, as well as with everyday casual styles. They slip up and down the wrist (when sized correctly), and can even be worn underneath your watch. This makes them the ideal jewellery choice for anyone who wants to add a little bit of glamour, but doesn’t want to wear anything too bold.

While tennis bracelets had been in fashion since the 1920s, they truly became a jewellery must-have in the 1970s. That was the era of disco, when there was a huge boom in female empowerment. This was also the time when diamonds began to be seen more often outside of gala events and formal cocktail dresses.

It was during this era that a world-class professional tennis player named Chris Evert created a new demand for these thin bracelets with symmetrical rows of diamonds. The story goes that during a match at the 1987 US Open Championships, Evert’s bracelet fell off while she was playing and she asked the officials to pause the game so she could search for her lucky charm.

Evert went on to win the match that day and she became known as a fashion icon and the ‘Godmother of the tennis bracelet’. She continued to wear diamonds while she played and inspired a generation of women to follow suit.

The Style

A diamond tennis bracelet is a beautiful and classic choice that you can wear with any outfit. Its casual yet glamorous style dresses up your daily look, and it pairs well with other jewelry pieces like stunning cocktail rings or a gorgeous fashion watch.

While the style of diamond tennis bracelets varies, they all consist of one or more rows of glittering precious stones set around a central chain or band. The diamonds can be natural or lab created, and they are usually prong or bezel set. The most popular styles are a single row of diamonds, but there are also options that have two or even three rows of diamonds.

The style of a diamond tennis bracelet depends on your personal preference, and it can be influenced by the occasion or event you are wearing it for. If you are planning to wear it with a formal gown, you may want to choose a more elaborate and stylish design.

Another consideration when choosing a tennis bracelet is how the piece will fit on your wrist. It is important that the bracelet is not too tight as it can cause discomfort and make you feel constricted. Similarly, it should not be too loose, or it can easily fall off and get lost.

When it comes to finding the perfect size for your tennis bracelet, you can start by using a standard wrist measurement such as 7-7.5 inches. This is the most common bracelet size for women, and it should be a good guide to help you determine what size to purchase.

The Length

A tennis bracelet is a flexible metal bracelet that features one or more rows of diamonds. Originally worn as a fashion accessory, the style got its name after Chris Evert, a world-class tennis player who famously wore an eternity diamond bracelet during most of her matches, even when she won. The bracelet supposedly came unclasped during one match and fell onto the court, leaving Evert to be reminded of the importance of her commitment to excellence both on and off the court.

Today, tennis bracelets are still as popular as ever. The dainty style adds a touch of elegance to any outfit, whether you?re wearing a casual Rihanna t-shirt or dressing up for a formal event. Even the biggest sports stars (like Cam Newton) have been seen sporting a tennis bracelet, proving that this dainty style crosses all gender lines and looks great no matter what you wear with it.

When choosing a tennis bracelet, the first thing you need to decide is how long you want it to be. The ideal length is about 18 cm, with the bracelet falling slightly toward your wrist when it?s worn. If you have extremely narrow wrists, you can also shorten the length by removing a link from the chain. Once you know the length of the bracelet that you want, you can start shopping for a design that will suit your tastes.

The Price

A tennis bracelet that incorporates a large number of diamonds will typically be more expensive than a bracelet featuring fewer and smaller diamonds. However, the quality of the stones in the diamond bracelet will also impact the price. Diamonds that have been well-cut and polished will look more sparkly than those with noticeable dark areas or dullness.

While it is possible to find inexpensive tennis bracelets, many women prefer the classic look of a bracelet made from high-quality materials like gold and diamonds. If you want to purchase a genuine diamond tennis bracelet, consider the reputation of the jeweler you choose. A reputable jeweler will make it a core value to offer only ethically sourced and conflict-free diamonds. This includes adherence to the Kimberly Process guidelines that prevent conflict diamonds from entering the global market.
