The History of the Tennis Bracelet

The question that’s been on many women’s lips and even a few men:

Where did the name tennis bracelet come from?

In the 1987 US Tennis Open, Chris Evert was wearing an expensive beautiful bracelet, which featured an inline string of individually set diamonds. With the pace of the game getting faster and more intense, the clasp on her bracelet snapped. The match was halted still the precious diamond set bracelet was found. Since that occasion, the term “tennis bracelet” has been adopted and stuck.

Today tennis bracelets can be found in a wide array of designs and styles, however the trademark of a true tennis bracelet are that they are usually set in white or yellow gold or platinum, with a string of individually set diamonds.

We wouldn’t advise wearing a tennis bracelet before a sporting match, however tennis bracelets make a great classic gift for your girlfriend, fiancée or wife. Due to the elegant nature of the tennis bracelet, it is a suitable gift for anniversaries or birthdays.

So as the old saying goes, that’s Game, Set and Match
