Tennis chains are often key components of many people’s jewelry collections and are essential items for every fashionable wardrobe. They enhance your style and are currently among the hottest trends. Let’s explore the origins and history of the tennis chain and how to incorporate this piece of jewelry into your everyday outfits.
A tennis chain is adorned with individually set diamonds that form a continuous chain. Due to their symmetrical shape and numerous facets, the diamonds usually have a uniform cut, such as cushion, princess, radiant, or round. This gives the tennis chain its sparkling allure, making it a popular choice for daily wear, or a must-have flashy chain for rappers and street dance enthusiasts.
The term “diamond tennis bracelet” originated from American professional tennis player Chris Evert, who was active in major tennis tournaments from 1972 to 1989. During one US Open, she wore a diamond bracelet designed by George Bedewi. However, midway through the match, the clasp of the bracelet suddenly broke, and it fell to the ground and was lost. Chris Evert immediately requested a pause in the match until her beloved bracelet was found. From that day on, this diamond chain bracelet became known as the diamond tennis bracelet. Today, professional tennis player Serena Williams also loves to wear her lucky diamond tennis bracelet when she steps onto the court.
