Tennis Bracelet

Tennis Bracelet - Diamonds are Forever

Tennis bracelet otherwise known as "in-line diamond bracelet" is a thin elegant piece of wrist jewelry that features a symmetrical pattern of diamonds that drapes softly around the wrist. The tennis bracelet is not like the charm bracelets that have pendants or mementos; this bracelet is just purely simple and elegant.

The name tennis bracelet, according to various websites, came to be because of the famous tennis player, Chris Evert, who was also known for her diamond line bracelets, lost one during the 1987 U.S. Open, and the game had to be momentarily stopped while she lurked around for it. This "tennis bracelet" incident gave a new name for the jewelry as well as a vast trend.
Now, tennis bracelets come in different fashions, but the main facet of the bracelet, the "diamonds", are never off the scene. Diamond tennis bracelets are made in large assortment of qualities, some nicely made with great attention to details. The bracelet should be flexible and not prone to twisting to avoid wear and tear on the hinged joints. A tennis bracelet's price can vary, depending on the bits and pieces used for the bracelet. Some tennis bracelets are made of sterling silver and diamonds, others gold and diamonds, and some white gold and diamonds.
The proper length and size of the bracelet will differ with the size of the wrist it is to be worn on. There should be a one finger width between the diamond tennis bracelet and the wrist. If it is too long, it will catch on clothing or furniture and put too much stress on the hinge joints, and if it is too short it will be uncomfortable and rigid when it hits objects and can cause damage to the links and the joints too.
