All about tennis bracelets

You've probably heard of the term tennis Bracelet, but you may still be wondering what it means. Tennis bracelets are a classic piece of jewellery that every woman should have. They are characterised by their stunning simplicity and beautiful shine.

They are most often made up of a single row of diamonds, all the same shape, in yellow or white Gold. Of course, there are also variations of the typical diamond bracelet, such as stones of unusual shapes, different colours or alternating diamond shape and colour.

Let's take a look at the history of the tennis bracelet and how it became an important piece of fashion jewellery, the importance of these bracelets as a status symbol and how to find the right diamond bracelet for you.

History of tennis bracelets

There are several versions of the story of how the bracelets came to be called tennis Bracelet Tennis bracelets as we know them today existed as early as the 1920s, but reached the peak of their popularity in the 1970s.

The 1970s brought more attention to jewellery and its integration into casual dress styles, such as pairing diamonds with jeans. The concept of 'modest luxury' became extremely popular, which was embraced by high-end designers and began to meet people's demands.

But we still haven't answered the main question - why are the bracelets called tennis bracelets? Interestingly, the name actually has something to do with tennis! Bracelet is said to be named after tennis star Chris Evert, who was famous for her sporting achievements on the court and was also considered a fashion icon.

She wore the diamond bracelet on the court during most of her matches and lost the bracelet during one of them. She told the umpires that she had lost her 'tennis bracelet' and asked for the match to be suspended until she found it. Since then, these diamond bracelets have been named tennis Bracelet and have found their place in the jewellery boxes of many women around the world.

Tennis bracelets as a status symbol

Tennis bracelets are stylish and beautiful. They are simple and subtle, but their shine adds a touch of glamour to any outfit. They can be teamed with the best formal outfits, but also with a simple top and jeans.

Although many fashion insiders believe that every woman should have a diamond tennis bracelet, not everyone wears one. For this reason, they are often seen as a status symbol and a symbol of elegance, worn only by those women who are stylish and important enough to own them. At Patrizia, we also firmly believe that this should not be the case - tennis Bracelet should adorn the wrists of all women! 

How do I get the right fit for my tennis Bracelet ?

Different types of bracelets are designed to be worn in different ways, so it's not unusual for many of you to ask, "How do I choose a bracelet that fits properly?"

Tennis bracelets should not be tight on the wrist. They are designed to move and slide up and down the wrist during movement. However, it is important that they are not too loose, as this can cause them to get lost or broken.

If you're looking for the right length, make sure Bracelet doesn't slip off your wrist without unbuckling. Also make sure it doesn't go too high on the arm and is not too tight. The best trick to check the size is to be able to squeeze one finger between your wrist and the bracelet.

Finding the right diamond tennis bracelet for you

Now that we know where the name of these special bracelets comes from, you must be wondering what kind of bracelet to choose. Do you want something simple and extremely classic or do you prefer a more luxurious and unique design?

A diamond Bracelet says a lot about your style, so it's important to choose the one that suits you best. It is also important how you want to wear the bracelet and what you plan to do while wearing it. For example, if you want to wear a tennis bracelet every day, you'll want something versatile and a little more subtle. However, if you only intend to wear it for formal events, you may want to go for a more luxurious design and look.

Don't forget to consider your fashion style - is it more retro and vintage, or are you a person who prefers a more contemporary look? Do you like the simple elegance of a basic diamond bracelet, or do you want something that will attract a lot of stares because of its uniqueness? At Patrizia, our friendly sales assistants will be happy to help you choose the bracelets that will add the finishing touch to your look.

How to combine a tennis bracelet with a watch?
