What is a diamond tennis bracelet?

While diamond bracelets come in a plethora of different designs, none is as timeless and iconic as the tennis bracelet. This ravishing design features a continuous row of diamonds set closely together on a slender chain.
  
As timeless as this design is, you can also find some variations to it. For instance, some tennis bracelets have two or three rows of diamonds, others feature a colorful mix of diamonds and precious gemstones, and some designs may have round-cut diamonds, while others feature emerald or princess-cut gems.

How did the tennis bracelet get its name?

First known as diamond line bracelets when they appeared in the 1920s, these timeless pieces became known as tennis bracelets only in the 1970s. 

The story goes that the tennis bracelet got its name after tennis player Chris Evert lost her bracelet during a US Open match, and asked the referee to stop the game to look for it. Thanks to Evert’s mishap, the popularity of the iconic design skyrocketed, and it became forever known as the tennis bracelet.

How is a tennis bracelet supposed to fit?

While the perfect fit may vary from person to person, a rule of thumb is that your tennis bracelet should strike a balance between moving up and down your wrist and still being tight enough so that it doesn’t slide off your hand. 

One way to find out whether your tennis bracelet is the right fit is to make sure you can fit one or two fingers between your wrist and your bracelet. Alternatively, you can also measure your tennis bracelet, which should be between half an inch to one inch larger than your wrist.

Can you wear a diamond tennis bracelet every day?

Absolutely! In fact, some people wear their beloved tennis bracelets 24/7 because they’re so comfortable and stylish that they can’t ever take them off.

Tennis bracelets are perfect everyday accessories because they go with everything. No matter where you’re going, what you’re wearing, or how formal the occasion is, your tennis bracelet will never seem out of place.
