How tennis bracelet got its name

Tennis bracelet has been around for decades, but Chris Evert took it to the highest level of popularity.  She was known for her style on the court, and at that time she was the number one player in the world.

So, in 1987 at the U.S. Open she suddenly stopped the match and asked the officials for a time out. And the reason was: the clasp on her diamond bracelet had broken and the bracelet had fallen off her wrist. She had to find the braceleted before playing the next point.  Then, when asked about it in an interview, she called it “tennis bracelet”. That is how the iconic name was born.

After that incident, a lot of famous tennis players have sported it, just to name a few: Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams are huge fans of this style.

Ever since the tennis bracelet became popular within the jewelry industry, and millions of women started to wear it daily. Traditionally featuring diamonds tennis bracelet can also be set with colored stones or a combination of diamonds and colored stones. Unlike other types of bracelets or bangles, tennis bracelet is more comfortable, wearable, timeless and is perfect for a woman, who leads active lifestyle. Also, tennis bracelet is a perfect piece for stacking, as it looks amazing with other bracelets or different watches.
