All You Need To Know About Tennis Bracelets

Diamond Tennis Bracelets are known for their elegant, classic look. The simplistic, yet beautiful, design of the bracelet makes it the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. A sparkling diamond tennis bracelet makes the perfect gift for anniversaries and special milestones.

What Are Tennis Bracelets?

A Tennis Bracelet is a piece of diamond jewellery that’s worn on the wrist and features a series of inline diamonds. These diamonds are secured with a clasp. Traditionally, a precious metal joins the diamonds together – jewellers offer a range of metals, styles and settings that make each bracelet beautifully unique.  

Diamond tennis bracelets were originally known as ‘line diamond bracelets’. The name ‘tennis bracelet’ originates from the 1987 US Open. Chris Evert (the famous tennis player), wore a diamond bracelet which fell off during the match. The match was paused so that her bracelet could be recovered. All of this happened on national TV. From that day forward, the piece of jewellery was called the Tennis Bracelet.

How To Pick The Perfect Tennis Bracelet

A tennis bracelet is a classic piece of jewellery, but there are a range of styles and designs you can choose from. Knowing which one to go for can be tricky.. The certificate of authentication is not usually specific for each of the diamonds placed within the bracelet. Therefore it is important to inspect each of the diamonds carefully – this will stop you from buying a low quality bracelet for a high price.

The colour of the precious metal is down to personal preference – typically coming in range including yellow, rose and white gold, along with platinum – you are offered the choice to pick your favourite. However, depending on how often you are going to wear a piece of jewellery, it will influence the karat of metal you should select. For everyday wear 14K and 18K gold and platinum are deemed durable enough If you plan to wear the bracelet less, you could opt for a lower karat.
