Tennis Bracelet

A tennis bracelet is a jewellery essential that is made from a line of gemstones adorned along a chain. There are variations but it is generally a single, symmetrical row with round-cut, princess-cut or cushion-cut diamonds. The tennis bracelet is a classic because it can be dressed up or dressed down easily. It’s one of those bracelets you can wear 24/7 without it ever feeling out of place.

Originally known as either eternity bracelets or line diamond bracelets, this bracelet has quite a history! In the 1987 US Open Tennis Championship, when Chris Evert, a women’s tennis pro, had her diamond bracelet fly off her wrist during a serve, officials paused the match and helped her find the bracelet. The widespread attention led to the formerly named eternity bracelet becoming widely known as the tennis bracelet.

The question of diamond colour in a tennis bracelet is one that needs a nuanced take. While the elites and purists might argue that only colourless diamonds can deliver the quintessential sparkle expected of such a timeless piece, the reality is more complex. Diamond colour can dramatically alter the personality of the bracelet. Pure white stones have a classic elegant and pure look long associated with luxury and elegance whereas a hint of colour will add a warmth and an inviting glow to your bracelet.

However, gemstones full of colour and varying saturation are used in tennis bracelets. Why should diamonds be any different? Arguably, consistency in colour can enhance the harmony of the bracelet, yet experimenting with varying colours could also add another dimension to the design so ultimately, the selection of diamond colour is less about adhering to standards and more about crafting a piece that speaks to your heart and personal expression.

Selecting the ideal carat weight would largely depend on personal taste and budget. Typically, tennis bracelets range from 1 to 10 carats in total. For a refined and understated look, a bracelet in the 1 to 2 carat range might be ideal. If you’re aiming for a balance of opulence and daily wearability, consider a bracelet with 3 to 5 carats. For those special events where you aim to dazzle, a bracelet of 6 carats or more will serve as a luxurious centrepiece. Ultimately, the right carat size is one that fits your lifestyle and one of personal choice.
