Classic Diamond Tennis Bracelet

A diamond tennis bracelet has been very popular and a treasured piece of jewelry for always. It actually has a series of diamonds, set in the same style in a row with no charms. Some people believe that a repeat of any same pattern or design is also a tennis bracelet.




Why is it called a ‘Tennis Bracelet’?

There is an interesting story behind its sporty name. It got this name from the tennis player, Chris Evert. During the 1987 U.S. Open championship, she broke and lost her bracelet. She requested to stop the match in order to recover her bracelet. That very style of diamond bracelet she was wearing, soon was called as Tennis Bracelets, and it became unintentionally public hit.

Originally, they were called as “Eternity Bracelets”.

For bracelet styles, you can get these diamond tennis bracelets in the different diamond shapes and sizes. For metal choices, white gold and yellow gold are the most popular, but platinum is often preferred for high carat values. In stone settings, the simple 4-prong setting is the most common but you can also find bracelets in the contemporary & stylish channel and bezel-setting.

As a gift

The diamond tennis bracelets make an excellent gift choice for any one on any occasion. Trust me; you won’t go wrong with it. Elegant and stylish, they can match any wardrobe. From the boardroom to a ballroom, they make a perfect accessory.
