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.”
