Is a tennis bracelet for you? Is there more to a tennis bracelet than just the obvious? Does a tennis bracelet have to look like every other tennis bracelet in existence? If you're looking to add a little sparkle to your jewelry collection, an elegant diamond tennis bracelet is a great place to start. These classic bracelets are versatile enough to dress up any ensemble and are the ideal way to add sparkle to your everyday ensembles. But how do you know if a tennis bracelet is right for you?
A tennis bracelet has been a fashion staple since the late 1980s, but do you know how it got that name? It’s actually a pretty cool story.
In 1987, during the U.S. Open, Chris Evert was playing in a match against Helena Sukova when one of the links on her diamond bracelet broke. She stopped to put the bracelet back on her wrist so she could resume the match, and when asked about this later, she said she didn’t want to risk losing it! And just like that, the tennis bracelet — a flexible line of diamonds held in place by either gold or platinum — was born.
When shopping for a diamond bracelet, there are several options to choose from. Classic diamond bracelets feature a row of diamonds that run along the entire length of the piece, with all diamonds secured by prongs. If you prefer something more delicate, consider a pave-style bracelet that showcases smaller diamonds set close together with tiny beads or shared prongs.
If you're looking for something in between, consider an oval-shaped link bracelet that features rows of diamond stations along the length of the piece. These unique designs showcase round or oval-shaped links and can be selected in lengths ranging from 7 inches to 8 inches and beyond. For a truly unique look, consider a multi-row tennis bracelet that features two or three rows of diamonds set together in one piece.
Choosing a tennis bracelet is all about personal style and taste. If you like diamonds, get diamonds. If you prefer sapphires, go for it. Tennis bracelets are available with nearly every gemdiamond imaginable, so the only question is whether you want to go big or go subtle.
When it comes to materials, your options are sterling silver, white gold, yellow gold or platinum.
You'll need to decide if you want a single row of diamonds or multiple rows, as well as what size diamond works best for your budget and taste. Some bracelets feature baguette-cut diamonds set into a square frame (as opposed to round diamonds set in prongs); some have both round and baguette diamonds; some are channel set (diamonds lined up side by side without a gap between them).
Tennis bracelets come in all shapes and sizes, but there's one thing they have in common: They're a must-have for anyone who loves jewelry and wants a piece they'll wear day after day.
