Traditionally, a tennis bracelet (also known as a diamond line bracelet) is a thin bracelet with a uniform sized square or rectangular diamonds linked all around the bracelet making it somewhat flexible.
Diamond line bracelets first became known as tennis bracelets in the 1980’s when Chris Every famously lost her bracelet while playing a match. The game had to be halted while she searched for her loved piece of jewellery. Following the trend of tennis players wearing them, in 2002 Serena Williams wore a tennis bracelet during the US Open.
What started out as an expensive piece of jewellery has also had designers take its appeal and launch it for the mass market and these days the beauty and style has been kept but different materials are often used such as silver and cubic zirconia stones. That way, you can have a stunning tennis bracelet that doesn’t break the bank.
