Tennis Bracelet - What are they?

Tennis bracelet features a row(s) of diamonds or colored gems of the same size, cut, color, and clarity linked together to form a complete, flexible circle. However, if you are looking for something unique or unusual, the variations of the classic tennis bracelet style are perfect to match your taste.

Lightweight and flexible, tennis bracelets are crafted in a variety of metal settings such as white gold, yellow gold, rose gold and sterling silver.

Why is it Called a “Tennis Bracelet?”

Tennis bracelet earned its name in 1987 at the U.S. Open. Chris Evert, a world-famous tennis champion, was playing a long back-and-forth rally during the match when the clasp of her diamond bracelet suddenly snapped. She requested the officials to halt the game and continued the game after she recovered her bracelet. This incident caused a lot of people to inquire about “tennis bracelets” at jewelry stores and sparked their popularity worldwide. Many tennis players and other celebrities still wear this simple, delicate bracelet style today.

Different Types of Tennis bracelet Settings

These classic style bracelets are available in three different types of settings. Each setting offers a slightly different overall look and feel as it changes the way how the stone is held. The main types of settings are:

Prong: In this setting, 3 or 4 prongs are used to hold the gemstone. A popular choice to secure the gem and allows maximum light to pass through the gemstone.

Channel: In this type of setting, the gemstones are encrusted in a channel on the metal, and they are fit tightly together to avoid scratching each other.

Bezel: In this setting, a layer of metal surrounds every gemstone of the tennis bracelet.
