There are few pieces of jewelry as versatile as the tennis bracelet. Whether you are getting married, going to a cocktail dinner, attending church, or playing tennis, this one piece of jewelry is timeless for all your activities! Diamond Mansion’s expert jewelers are ready to show you a variety of classic and universal tennis bracelets.
Why Is It Called a Tennis Bracelet?
First thing first, what exactly is a tennis bracelet?
A tennis bracelet is defined as a single strand of small stones, often diamonds, in a plain string setting. While many use diamonds, you could use really any stone: emeralds, rubies, sapphires, or a mix of multiple stones.
To be clear, it wasn’t always called a tennis bracelet. In the roaring twenties, when women would wear multiple bracelets as part of their flapper style, they were simply known as eternity bracelets. The Gemological Institute of American explained that it wasn’t until 1987, when tennis icon Chris Evert lost her bracelet during one of her U.S. Open matches, that the name tennis bracelet was born. Evert asked officials for a time out so that she could search for her bracelet. Later in an interview, Evert was asked about the bracelet incident, in which she called the bracelet her “tennis bracelet.”

Let’s Talk Diamonds
Diamond tennis bracelets are about as classic as they come. At Diamond Mansion, it is a core value that diamonds are ethically sourced and conflict-free. We stick to the Kimberly Process guidelines to help keep conflict diamonds from entering the market. There are no shortcuts in providing natural and ethical diamonds, and Diamond Mansion makes sure the buyer can take pride in the diamonds they purchase.
What Makes a Diamond Good?
Those who are new to diamond shopping mainly focus on the 4Cs. Diamond Mansion makes this easy for buyers with their Diamond Buying Guide. Here are the basics:
- Carat: The weight of the stone
- Cut: This determines how the stone is shaped and how much it sparkles
- Clarity: How many flaws and blemishes the stone has in it
- Color: The clearest diamonds have the highest worth
Taking Care of Your Tennis Bracelet
Now that you’ve found your tennis bracelet, just how should you take care of it?
Cape Town Diamond Museum gives readers a few pointers:
1) Beyond making sure you have a strong clasp, check to see if a safety catch can be added for additional security.
2) Have your tennis bracelet checked out by a professional jeweler regularly to be cleaned and to ensure that the clasp, safety catch, and mountings are all working properly.
3) Before applying lotion, hand/dish soap, or gardening, make sure you remove your bracelet (and put it somewhere safe) to avoid the build-up of residue.
