All about tennis bracelets

ORIGIN OF THE NAME

Originally known as "line diamond bracelets" or "eternity bracelets", they gained their name and fame in 1977, at the US Open, during a tennis match, in which American player Chris Evert lost his diamond bracelet on the field, following a more vigorous hit. Evert asked the officials to put the match on hold to look for his bracelet. With spectators and television viewers watching the search live, the diamond bracelet not only acquired a new celebrity name, but also caught the attention of the entire world, becoming a highly desired accessory ever since.

A tennis bracelet typically consists of diamonds of the same size, cut, color and clarity placed next to each other to make a complete circle. Flexible, durable and comfortable, they are the ideal way to add sparkle to your everyday life.

In the next passage, we will talk about the mounting of the stones and their "cutting".

HOW TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF A TENNIS BRACELET

Tennis bracelets with natural diamonds or cubic zirconia are unique and precious. They complete any outfit and will never go out of style, making them some of those essential pieces of jewelry that every woman should own. Therefore, an important factor to consider when buying a tennis bracelet is its quality.

How to evaluate the quality of a tennis bracelets ? There are two important factors to consider: the type of metal used and the beauty of the stones. Tennis bracelets are made from several different metals, such as rhodium-plated silver, yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum. All the stones in these bracelets are set by hand, which makes them even more precious. While each metal offers its own distinctive look, not all metals offer the same advantages. Since a tennis bracelet is worn quite often, the durability of the metal is an important factor to consider.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BRACELET

In general, the size of a bracelet is not as crucial as the correct sizing of a ring. However, to find the right size, measure your wrist with a piece of string or tape, then add half an inch to two inches to the total length to calculate your bracelet size.

Tennis bracelet it doesn't have to be fixed on the wrist, but neither should it be very wide to fall off the hand. From my point of view, the perfect fit for a tennis bracelet is when you can easily insert a finger between your wrist and the bracelet.

One of the sexiest qualities of the tennis bracelet is that it flirts with the wrist. When the arm is lowered, the bracelet should slide to the wrist, and when the arm is supported, it hangs elegantly on our hand.

HOW DO WE WEAR THE TENNIS BRACELET?
The bracelet that captured the world's attention during a tennis match has never ceased to fascinate. Jewelry buyers want to know all about this iconic bracelet.

It is important to feel good in your own skin, to find the accessories that suit you and the style that defines you. The clumsiness with which we wear clothes or jewelry, just because they are fashionable or because we see them on others, can be seen with the naked eye and is not worth the money or effort.

We can wear the bracelet with a watch, with others tennis bracelets or we can do, as I like to say, a "wrist game" of "mix and match" - that is, several models of bracelets on the same wrist - (tennis bracelets, leather bracelets, string bracelets or bracelets with small stones semi-precious, onyx, for example).

The whole fascination of tennis bracelets it's the idea of ​​being able to wear diamonds everyday. Whether the bracelet is made of rhodium-plated silver or gold, with natural diamonds or cubic zirconia diamonds, it is certainly a seductive and always fashionable accessory that can accompany you anywhere and on all occasions.
