Tennis Bracelets FAQs

What is a tennis bracelet and why is it called that?

A tennis bracelet is a sleek, elegant bracelet featuring a continuous line of diamonds or gemstones set closely together in a symmetrical pattern. This three-prong diamond tennis bracelet and this interlocking diamond tennis bracelet are perfect examples. The name "tennis bracelet" became widely known after a famous incident during the 1987 U.S. Open, when tennis player Chris Evert’s diamond bracelet broke and fell off her wrist during a match. She requested to pause the game until the bracelet was found, and since then, this style of bracelet has been referred to as a tennis bracelet.

How should a tennis bracelet fit?

A tennis bracelet should fit comfortably on your wrist, with just enough room to move slightly but not so loose that it slips off or rotates around your wrist. The ideal fit allows you to slide one finger between the bracelet and your wrist, ensuring that it sits securely while allowing the diamonds or gemstones to shine beautifully without flipping over.

How much is a tennis bracelet?

The price of a tennis bracelet varies based on the total carat weight, the quality of the diamonds or gemstones, and the type of metal used in the setting. A petite diamond tennis bracelet might start around $5,000 CAD, while more luxurious designs with larger or higher-quality diamonds like this classic diamond tennis bracelet can range from $10,000 CAD to $50,000 CAD or more.

How to wear a tennis bracelet with a watch?

Wearing a tennis bracelet alongside a watch is a sophisticated way to layer your jewelry. To achieve a balanced look, wear the tennis bracelet on the same wrist as your watch, positioning the bracelet just below the watch. This arrangement ensures that the bracelet complements the watch without overpowering it, adding a touch of elegance to your ensemble. Ensure that both the bracelet and the watch fit well so they can sit comfortably together without clashing.

How do you open a tennis bracelet?

To open a tennis bracelet, find the clasp mechanism, which usually includes a small lever or button. Press the lever or button while gently pulling the two ends of the bracelet apart. Ecksand's tennis bracelets like this petite diamond bracelet also feature a safety latch for added security, which you need to lift before opening the main clasp. Handle the bracelet carefully to avoid damaging the clasp or the bracelet itself.
