Diamond Tennis Bracelets

A tennis bracelet is an elegant bracelet made from a line of gemstones, usually diamonds, connected by a precious metal chain. Originally known as line diamond bracelets, tennis bracelets got their name when tennis player Chris Evert lost her diamond line bracelet during a tennis match. This gave way to the name tennis bracelet as well as the rise in popularity of the style, which continues to be in high demand and the epitome of elegance.

There is no “right” fit for a tennis bracelet except for the fit that feels right to you, that both looks good and feels comfortable to wear. Tennis bracelets are generally worn quite loosely on the wrist, but not so loose that they aren’t secure or will slip over your hand - a good rule of thumb is to make sure you can fit only one finger between the bracelet and your wrist. If you are purchasing a tennis bracelet as a gift, you might like to measure your loved one’s wrist or another bracelet in their collection to ensure the right fit.

A tennis bracelet can feature any gemstone, and at Michael Hill we offer tennis bracelets featuring sapphires and rubies as well as diamonds. While many tennis bracelets are made using white gold or sterling silver, a rose or yellow gold tennis bracelet is also a beautiful and popular choice.

A tennis bracelet makes the perfect addition to your everyday jewellery wardrobe, and can be worn alongside your women’s watch, to complement your diamond earrings or as a standalone piece to make you sparkle. As a diamond tennis bracelet is made using precious metals and gemstones, you will need to take proper care of your tennis bracelet when wearing it every day, being sure to remove it before exercise, showering or swimming.

Like all precious jewellery pieces, tennis bracelets need to be treated with care to ensure longevity. While it is perfectly fine to wear your diamond tennis bracelet every day, removing it and storing it safely before sleep, showering, swimming or cleaning will keep it sparkling. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will remove any dirt or impurities, while you can take your tennis bracelet into a Michael Hill store when required for complimentary, professional cleaning.
