As millenials and GenZ take over the world, discover their true selves, and evolve, the jewellery industry is evolving WITH THEM and FOR THEM. When a few years ago no one knew what a "tennis bracelet" was, they're all the hype these days and rightly so.

In todays blog post, WrapGame India will tell you everything that you need to know about a Tennis Bracelet and what to look for when buying one.

Let's get started!

What is a Tennis Bracelet?

Simply put, a tennis bracelet is an elegant piece of jewelley. But this definition is not enough to tell you the characteristics of one and how do you identify a tennis bracelet among swarm of bracelets.

Characteristics of a Tennis Bracelet

Following are the characteristics you need to look for in a bracelet to identify that it is a Tennis Bracelet:

• A tennis bracelet has a single line of diamonds or other gemstones.
• The gemstones are bound together using a flexible chain. The chain is either made up of Gold or Silver, in a typical tennis bracelet.
• The gemstones in a tennis bracelet are always symmetrical and identical to each other.
• These bracelets usually employ a strong clasp to lock and secure the bracelet.

Diamond Tennis Bracelet

A tennis bracelet was initially called a "diamond line bracelet". So, what caused the transition to happen?

That is an interesting story. 

The tennis bracelet first gained popularity in the 1920s, when it was known as a "diamond line bracelet", as we mentioned above.

Its present name stems from an interesting event at the 1987 US Open, when tennis star Chris Evert misplaced her diamond bracelet during a match and officials halted play while she used her soul to find it.

The tragedy prompted jewellers to create more secure clasps for their designs.

And that is how my friends, we got the name "tennis bracelet" because a diamond line bracelet got lost in a tennis game! 

3+1 Things to Know Before Buying a Tennis Bracelet

The four most important things to keep in mind before buying a tennis bracelet are: size, metal, gemstones, and comfort. Other than that, the care of the product is also very important. 

Now, let's discuss these 4 things in detail.

1. Size of the Tennis Bracelet | Tennis Bracelets for Women and Men

If there is one thing to take away from the story about the nomenclature of the tennis bracelet, ladies and gentlemen, is that you always wear the right size of the bracelet.

To measure your size, you can simply measure the circumference of your wrist and take a 1-2.5 cm (half inch to an inch) margin.

This will ensure that the bracelet is not too tight or too loose.

2. Metal of the Tennis Bracelet | Tennis Bracelets for Women and Men

Considering the sensitivity of different skin types, the tones of the skin, and other factors, it is very important to choose the right metal base for the bracelet.

The metal not only needs to be flexible but also strong so that the durability of your tennis bracelet is ensured.
