A tennis bracelet is a classic piece of jewelry, known for its elegant simplicity and row of sparkling diamonds set in a flexible chain. The term “tennis bracelet” came into popularity in the 1980s when tennis player Chris Evert famously stopped a match to search for her diamond bracelet after it fell off during a game. Since then, the name stuck, and the tennis bracelet became synonymous with luxury and style. Traditionally, these bracelets feature between 52 to 58 diamonds, depending on the size and design, although the number can vary. The diamonds are often round-cut for maximum brilliance, but some designs use princess or oval-cut diamonds for a unique look.

Tennis bracelets are designed to be lightweight and comfortable, with each diamond securely set in individual prongs or bezels. While round diamonds are the most common choice, customers can opt for different shapes like princess or oval diamonds to customize their bracelet. Originally, tennis bracelets were made with natural diamonds, which made them quite expensive—often costing upwards of $8,000. However, with the rise of lab-created diamonds, which have the same qualities as natural diamonds, these bracelets have become much more affordable. Today, many people can purchase a tennis bracelet for $2,000 to $3,000, making it a popular gift for anniversaries, birthdays, or special occasions.

The accessibility of lab-created diamonds has made tennis bracelets a more attainable luxury for many. They retain the same sparkle and beauty as natural diamonds but at a fraction of the cost, making them a perfect choice for anyone looking to invest in timeless jewellery.
