What is a Tennis Bracelet?

A "Tennis" Bracelet is an elegant piece of jewellery that is generally made up of a symmetrical pattern of diamonds or gemstones that connected strip of thin precious metal. The stones in a Diamond Tennis Bracelet are usually the same size, shape, colour and clarity as each other. Diamond Tennis Bracelets were initially known as ‘line diamond bracelets’ – however in the 1987 U.S. Open Tennis Championships, Chris Evert, lost her diamond bracelet during the middle of a match. The game was stopped so Evert could search for the missing bracelet - while television viewers and spectators in the stands watched. After the diamond bracelet was recovered, the match resumed.
