A diamond tennis bracelet is a continuous line of individually set diamonds worn at the wrist. It is one of the most elegant and most versatile fine jewellery pieces — it works with casual and formal outfits equally and adds continuous diamond brilliance throughout the day.
The diamond tennis bracelet originated as a "line bracelet" — a flexible bracelet in which every link contains a diamond. The name "tennis bracelet" came from Chris Evert's famous 1987 US Open incident, when her diamond line bracelet snapped during play and she stopped the match to search for it. The style has been called a tennis bracelet ever since.
A diamond tennis bracelet is one of the most versatile fine jewellery pieces available. It works with jeans and a simple top as naturally as with a formal gown. It adds diamond presence at the wrist throughout the day — catching light with every gesture. It is not an occasional-wear piece; it is an everyday fine jewellery piece that happens to look formal enough for any occasion.
