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.
Depending on how much you want to
spend on a tennis bracelet, you can always choose for what you like. Here
are some top five tennis bracelets recommended; although they are not set
with lots of diamonds, these tennis bracelets are sparkly and gorgeous, most
of all they are affordable:
