What Is a Tennis Bracelet?
Loved by women and men alike, these bracelets feature a continuous line of individually set gemstones – typically diamonds or other precious stones – linked together. The design showcases a seamless row of gems that encircle the wrist. The term “tennis bracelet” originated in 1978.
What was a Tennis Bracelet Called Before 1978?
Before 1978, this style of bracelet was known as an "in-line bracelet" or an "eternity bracelet." However, during the 1978 U.S. Open, the renowned tennis champion Chris Evert experienced an incident where her diamond bracelet snapped off during a match. She requested the game to be paused until she found her bracelet, creating a buzz around this now popular style, re-dubbed the "tennis bracelet."
