The iconic tennis bracelet: timeless elegance with history

Did you know where the iconic term “tennis bracelet” comes from?

Previously, the bracelet set with gemstones strung together was called “Eternity” or “Diamond Line” bracelet.

In fact, the iconic name "tennis bracelet" was born from a curious incident in 1987. During a match at the US Open, American tennis player Chris Evert lost her diamond-studded bracelet from her wrist. Chris refused to continue playing and asked for a break until she found it. From that moment on, the piece of jewelry had a new name and began to gain popularity.

Tennis bracelets are made of individually set gemstones, either in the classic style of the same color, size and cut, or in playful variations and combinations. There are no limits to your imagination. They sit loosely on the wrist and are held together with a spring ring or snap fastener.
