What is a tennis bracelet?
The name ‘tennis bracelet’ goes back to a remarkable event during the 1987 US Open. Tennis player Chris Evert was wearing a diamond bracelet during a match when it suddenly came loose and fell onto the court. Evert asked for the match to be interrupted to look for the lost bracelet. This moment was televised worldwide and led to this type of bracelet becoming known as the ‘tennis bracelet’. The bracelet design, originally known as the eternity bracelet, immediately gained worldwide fame and became one of the best-known pieces of jewellery in the high-end segment.
Since then, the tennis bracelet has not only been recognised as a fashion statement, but also as a symbol of stylish elegance that has found its place in both sport and everyday life. Many well-known tennis players such as Serena Williams and Anna Kournikova have adopted this look, further fuelling the trend.
What types of tennis bracelets are there?
There are numerous variations of tennis bracelets, which differ in terms of the material used, the number of stones and their settings:
- Single-row tennis bracelets: the classic variant in which a single row of gemstones, such as cubic zirconia or diamonds, adorns the bracelet.
- Multi-row models: Tennis bracelets with several rows of stones are also available for special occasions. These designs look glamorous and are particularly eye-catching.
COEUR DE LION offers unique designs, including the silver-blue tennis bracelet, which is made from high-quality stainless steel and embellished with sparkling zirconia stones. It is available in various colours, including crystal, blue and rainbow colours, making it a true all-rounder.
What fasteners are available for tennis bracelets?
The fastening of a tennis wristband plays a decisive role in comfort and safety. The following fasteners are frequently used:
- Spring ring clasp: A simple metal ring with a spring mechanism, often found in classic designs.
- Lobster clasp: Particularly practical for bracelets that are variable in length.
- Barrel clasp: A robust clasp that is screwed together and is mainly used for valuable pieces of jewellery.
The tennis bracelet from COEUR DE LION has a stainless steel folding clasp that ensures a secure hold. The bracelet is also adjustable in size from 18 cm to 16.5 cm, making it perfect for different wrists.
How do you wear a tennis bracelet?
A tennis bracelet can be worn in different ways:
- On its own: it can be worn as a single statement piece of jewellery for an understated yet elegant look.
- Combined with other pieces of jewellery: Tennis bracelets can be perfectly combined with other pieces of jewellery. They look particularly stylish in combination with the Eternal Love bangles or the Eternal Unity collections from COEUR DE LION.
- Combined with a watch: A particularly elegant combination is to wear a tennis bracelet together with a plain watch, creating a harmonious yet luxurious look.
How should a tennis wristband fit?
The tennis wristband should be loose enough to allow freedom of movement, but tight enough so that it does not slip over the wrist. The ideal fit is when one finger fits between the wristband and the wrist. The COEUR DE LION tennis wristband can be easily adjusted to the correct size thanks to its adjustable fastening.
Can a tennis bracelet be worn every day?
Yes, tennis bracelets are perfect for everyday use thanks to their robust construction and high-quality materials. COEUR DE LION offers stainless steel versions that are not only durable but also easy to care for. They are comfortable to wear every day and go well with both elegant and casual outfits. The zirconia stones in particular give the bracelet a subtle glamour without being too intrusive.
