Finding the Right tennis-bracelets for You

Vintage tennis bracelets are a no-brainer for those of us who remain unabashedly nostalgic for 1980s or 1990s fashion. And as long as the casual-luxe look is hot — and it ismen's tennis bracelets, diamond tennis bracelets and other versions of these understated accessories will remain on trend.

The term “tennis bracelet” is relatively new. It stems from a tennis match that Chris Evert — the first player to win 1,000 singles matches — played in an early round of the U.S. Open during the late 1970s. A diamond and gold bracelet that the celebrated athlete had been wearing broke, and play was stopped while she scrambled to look for it on the court. At the time, minimalist fine jewelry was the order of the day. While fashion jewelry had undeniable appeal, the ornate diamond confections popular in previous decades were neither suited to the office nor the disco dance floor, and many people sought subtle but sophisticated jewelry designs to wear for both work and play.

Subdued ornament in the manner of Elsa Peretti’s versatile 1970s-era necklaces and bracelets for Tiffany & Co. wowed wearers and garnered media acclaim at the time, and the design of Evert’s straight-line bracelet, the kind that had likely been referred to as an “eternity bracelet” before then, spoke to what was a popular type of jewelry during the era. Demand for versions of Evert’s uncomplicated accessory soared in jewelry boutiques across the United States in the years and decades following the match. The tennis star would eventually earn ninth place on the Tennis Channel’s “100 Greatest of All Time” list.

The diamond tennis bracelets worn these days differ little from those crafted during the 1970s, although they’re likely outfitted with sturdier clasps that prevent them from coming apart during extensive tennis matches. Today, there is a wide range of popular unisex tennis bracelets as well as men’s tennis bracelets, although they don't have to be exclusively dotted with diamonds. A vintage Tiffany tennis bracelet, for example, might feature emeralds, rubies or sapphires set in platinum or yellow gold.
