What is a Tennis Bracelet, anyways?

A tennis bracelet is a bracelet composed of a symmetrical arrangement of diamonds linked by a delicate metal chain. Oftentimes, the gemstones within a tennis bracelet are the same color, shape, size, and clarity as one another and are set very close together so the chain is not very visible. 

When first hearing the name “Tennis bracelet”, it most likely gives off the idea that you have to sport your lush diamonds while playing a rigorous game of tennis. While this is indeed not the case, our team at Ware Jewelers is here to set the message straight about everything that is tennis bracelet related. 
 

Tennis Bracelet? Why The Strange Name? 

Tennis bracelets sure have an interesting and strange name. If you’re wondering about why this strange name, somehow affiliated with sports, came to be, you’re not alone! There is in fact quite an interesting backstory to go along with these glistening, shimmering, and stunning jewelry designs!

Originally, the diamond tennis bracelet was referred to as a diamond line bracelet. They were also called eternity bracelets, which we suppose sounds a little better than the first alternative.  

The term “tennis bracelet” stems from professional tennis player Chris Evert. The esteemed athlete’s diamond bracelet broke and fell onto the ground in an early round of the 1978 US Open. The match was temporarily stopped so the jewelry pieces could be picked up and collected off the tennis court. Evert frequently wore diamonds on the court, which is an intriguing fact being that few people relate gorgeous diamond jewelry to sports… let alone a fast-paced and intense sport like tennis!

When Evert was asked about the fiasco on the court after the match, she joked that the bracelet that had come unclasped was indeed her tennis bracelet. Thus, the name was born, and more attention was drawn to this unique jewelry style.
