Tennis Bracelet: What It Is and Why It's So Loved
The tennis bracelet is one of the most elegant and versatile pieces of jewelry available. Characterized by a continuous line of precious stones — usually diamonds — set in white, yellow, or rose gold, it's an accessory that suits both formal occasions and everyday looks.
Why Is It Called a "Tennis Bracelet"?
The name has a curious origin: in 1987, during the US Open, tennis player Chris Evert lost her diamond bracelet on the court and asked for the game to be stopped to search for it. From that moment on, this type of bracelet became known as the "tennis bracelet."
How to Choose the Perfect Tennis Bracelet
