Whether you are dressing up for an event or heading to the court for a match, one piece of jewellery stands out for its effortless elegance and past: the tennis bracelet. Known for its symmetrical line of diamonds or gemstones, this classic design has become a staple in jewellery boxes, signifying both sophistication and endless love. 

The Match That Changed Everything

Before it earned its new sporty name, the tennis bracelet was simply known as an "eternity bracelet" or a "diamond line bracelet." Its transformation into a cultural icon occurred during the 1987 US Open. Chris Evert, the world’s top-ranked female tennis player at the time, was wearing her favourite diamond bracelet during a US Open match when the bracelet came undone and was lost on the court.

Play was stopped to search for the bracelet and the idea of the tennis bracelet (and tennis jewellery) was born. 

Courtside Glamour: From Evert to Williams

Chris Evert may have started the trend, but many other iconic women have since embraced the tradition of courtside glamour. Serena Williams famously dazzled at the 2002 US Open, and more recently, Donna Vekic showcased stunning pieces at the 2025 Australian Open. Influencers attending tennis related events are often seen sporting tennis jewellery inspired by the tennis bracelet.

A Versatile Classic for Every Style

The true beauty of the tennis bracelet lies in its versatility. It has been worn for centuries because it complements almost any look and is an effortless classic style. Here are a few ways to style yours:

  • Wear it alone for a minimalist, sophisticated statement.

  • Stack it with other bracelets or bangles for a modern, layered look.

  • Pair it with your favourite watch to elevate your everyday attire.
