WHERE DO TENNIS BRACELETS GET THEIR NAME?
Tennis Bracelet — Chris Evert

This is often the first question that people have about tennis bracelets; after all, it is an unusual name.

The name for this piece of jewellery comes from an incident that involved Chris Evert, a former American tennis player. During a match at the US Open, Evert lost her designer diamond bracelet that was designed by George Bedewi.

A clasp on the bracelet had snapped, causing the bracelet to fall off. Evert asked the officials to pause the match until she found her bracelet. Ever since the incident, the diamond line bracelets have become known as tennis bracelets, and sports stars today, including Serena Williams, commonly wear them.

EASY TO WEAR AND EASY ON THE EYE

The great thing about tennis bracelets is that, not only do they look stunning, but also they are easy to wear. This is why a lot of athletes wear them.

The form of the bracelet makes it convenient for those who play sport or have an active lifestyle, as they do not have to wear a heavy bracelet that clatters around and gets in the way.

Instead, a tennis bracelet is flexible and lightweight, which means there is less chance of it getting dinged or banged when playing a sport or carrying out day-to-day activities.

POINTERS FOR BUYING A TENNIS BRACELET

It is important to purchase your tennis bracelet from a reputable jeweller, such as Rêve Diamonds, so that you can be sure of exceptional quality and premium diamonds that sparkle brightly.

When purchasing, make sure that the setting and the stones give you the flexibility you need.

Consider how you are going to be wearing the bracelet, and when you will wear it. Moreover, look for the traditional diamond characteristics, i.e. carat weight, colour, clarity, and cut.

It is important to note that tennis bracelets do not measure the weight of individual stones; rather they measure the overall carat weight.


TYPES OF TENNIS BRACELET

The top 2 most popular types of tennis bracelets are the ‘classic tennis bracelet’ and the ‘bangle bracelet’. The one important difference is that the tennis bracelet has been designed to make it a flexible wear whereas the bangle does not have this quality. There are 2 main settings used: Prong setting and Bezel setting.

Claw setting

Prong setting – Also commonly known as a ‘claw’ setting refers to the metal which holds the diamond in place. Very visible to the eye whilst still allowing the diamond to show off its stunning features. The metals used for the prongs are generally gold, silver and platinum, allowing the diamond to gain more light through the ability to show off more of its angles.

Rub Over Setting

Bezel setting – Also known as ‘rub over’ setting means each diamond/stone has a metal setting surrounding it. Some people may compare this type of setting to the image of a watch head, safely enclosing each stone in metal and reducing the risk of loss.

Round Cut

The most popular type of tennis bracelet. Usually available in 18 karat white gold with a length of 7 inches (18cm). The round cut is an easy wear that suits casual yet formal occasions with almost any outfit, giving off that elegant look. Also available in gold or rose gold.

Emerald Cut

The emerald cut tennis bracelet is a modern take on this iconic design. The step faceting pattern exquisitely captures the translucent beauty of diamonds by creating the illusion of broad flashes of white light – the hall of mirrors effect – making it a real head turner.

The shimmering 18k white gold tennis bracelet is the epitome of elegance and looks flattering on every skin tone. 18K white gold has the highest level of purity at 75% pure gold, making it highly desirable and ideal for those who may have allergic reactions to lower-karat jewellery.

Rose Gold

18kt rose gold has become a very popular choice for tennis bracelets as when coupled with the brilliance of diamonds it exudes femininity. Rose gold is an alloy that creates a stronger, more durable metal – making the 18k rose gold tennis bracelet an ideal choice for everyday wear.

Yellow Diamonds

The yellow diamond tennis bracelet is a statement piece for the lady who is classical in her style but dares to be different. Yellow diamonds are the most popular choice after the colourless variety. Their bright vibrant colour is associated with warmth and happiness, complementing a holiday tan beautifully.
