The tennis bracelet is a popular item of jewellery and has a permanent place in the jewellery box for many women. This item of jewellery exudes elegance through the fine bracelet set with small white diamonds. Simplicity itself! What’s the meaning behind the tennis bracelet? And how do you mix and match this item of jewellery elegantly on different occasions?
The tennis bracelet got its name from tennis. And if you follow tennis, you may already know this story. In 1987, top American tennis player Chris Evert was playing at the US Open. Evert always wore a diamond bracelet on the tennis court, designed by George Bedewi. Journalists therefore often referred to her jewellery as a “tennis bracelet”.
The bracelet became world-famous during a match against Wendy Turnbull. She saw that the bracelet was no longer on her wrist, so asked for the match to be stopped immediately, until the precious bracelet was found.
Most diamond tennis bracelets are made of white / yellow gold or platinum, because these precious metals do justice to the colourless diamonds. If an exclusive tennis bracelet is more important to you, you could opt for timeless and classic yellow gold, or rose gold, the playful variety.
Diamond jewellery remains the perfect gift for special occasions. The gift of a diamond can mark every milestone in a woman’s life. A tennis bracelet has greater meaning when given for her birthday, for Mother’s Day or wrapped up for any festivity. It is certainly more original than a ring or pair of earrings.
