History and Guide to Buying Tennis Bracelets
Tennis bracelets are a classic jewelry design introduced in the 20th century. The traditional tennis bracelet is often referred to as an eternity bracelet and is designed to be worn around the wrist. Despite its name, the tennis bracelet wasn’t actually designed to be worn for playing the sport of tennis. It earned its name after an incident that occurred during a U.S. Open tennis tournament in 1987. Tennis legend, Chris Evert was well-known for her large collection of diamond in-line eternity bracelets. In the middle of a match, she asked officials to stop the game so she could search for a diamond bracelet that she had dropped because it had somehow become unclasped.
Since Evert’s unfortunate incident, the Blue Sapphire Eternity Tennis Bracelet name ‘tennis bracelet’ has stuck and the trend for sporty inline bracelets has grown tremendously in the jewelry market.
Bangles and other types of bracelets such as cuffs are often too heavy, gaudy or delicate for those who live active lifestyles. This makes tennis bracelets perfect since they are lightweight, flexible and durable. but today, the definition has expanded to Over the past twenty years or so, the tennis bracelet has evolved into one the most important jewelry pieces of our time. In fact, many jewelry collectors wouldn’t even consider a collection complete without a tennis bracelet. Although the basic design has remained the same over the years, since the Evert incident, jewelry designers have made some improvements to tennis bracelets. Jewelry manufacturers introduced a safety chain along with the clasp to prevent what shouldn’t have happened during the 1987 U.S. Open. The new safety chains are designed to keep the bracelet suspended from the wrist in case the bracelet clasp breaks – and with the high price of some tennis bracelets, the improved safety feature is definitely more than welcome.
