What is a diamond tennis bracelet?

 
A diamond tennis bracelet is a flexible gold bracelet that features one or multiple rows of diamonds. This specific piece of jewelry thanks its name to the famous tennis player Chris Evert. During a tennis match in 1987, Evert lost her designer diamond bracelet. Desperately, she asked to pause the game to find her bracelet, since then this kind of bracelet is called a tennis bracelet.
 

Why is a tennis bracelet so popular?

 
Thanks to the incident during the match 30 years ago, this kind of bracelet received an international boost of attention. Suddenly everyone who could afford diamonds wanted one. However, that’s not the only reason diamond tennis bracelets are still such beloved and considered must-have accessories. The endless row of diamonds provides the feeling of eternal beauty.
 

Who doesn’t want to feel like that?

 
Tennis bracelets are a classic jewelry design introduced in the 20th century. The traditional tennis bracelet is often referred to as an eternity bracelet and is designed to be worn around the wrist. Despite its name, the tennis bracelet wasn't actually designed to be worn for playing the sport of tennis.
Before buying or ordering bracelet jewelry, be sure to measure your wrist and have your bracelet made in the correct size. While wearing a tennis bracelet, you should be able to comfortably slip a finger between the bracelet and your wrist. Lastly, tennis bracelets with security chains are recommended, whether made with fine diamond or other stones. This will protect against loss. Also double-check the quality of the clasp; ensure that the clasp is both strong and secure. After all, the bracelet is only as strong as its weakest link or clasp.
 

How to wear a tennis bracelet?

 
A tennis bracelet should not be too tight. When you can fit one finger between the bracelet and your wrist, it’s a perfect size. A diamond tennis bracelet is often worn on the left wrist. This is because most people are right-handed and therefore use their left hand less. Over the past twenty years or so, the tennis bracelet has evolved into one the most important jewelry pieces of our time. In fact, many jewelry collectors wouldn't even consider a collection complete without a tennis bracelet. Although the basic design has remained the same over the years, since the Evert incident, jewelry designers have made some improvements to tennis bracelets. Jewelry manufacturers introduced a safety chain along with the clasp to prevent what loosing it. The new safety chains are designed to keep the bracelet suspended from the wrist in case the bracelet clasp breaks - and with the high price of some tennis bracelets, the improved safety feature is definitely more than welcome. When buying a tennis bracelet, here are some helpful tips:
The material of the bracelet should be heavy enough to weigh it down against your wrist. If it is too light, it may move around too much during wear. Check to make sure that each and every link of the bracelet is sturdy. Most importantly, all gemstones should be well set and squared within each setting; they should also be as closely matched as possible in cut, color and size
Diamond and platinum tennis bracelets can cost tens of thousands of dollars, while a 14K gold tennis bracelet with semi-precious gems may only a cost a couple of hundred dollars or less.
Bangles and other types of bracelets such as cuffs and strands are often too heavy, gaudy or delicate for those who live active lifestyles. This makes tennis bracelets perfect since they are lightweight, flexible and durable. Traditionally, tennis bracelets were made with white diamonds linked together by gold, platinum or other precious metals, but today, the definition has expanded to encompass any bracelet with an in-line or eternity design. Today's jewelry trends include tennis bracelets made with a variety of other materials, including colored stones, especially birthstones. Even though white diamond is no longer the rule, it is still considered the trademark look when it comes to high-end tennis bracelets.

How to clean a diamond tennis bracelet?

 
Cleaning diamonds isn’t something you should do in a rush. Though it doesn’t take long, you should do it with care. Take a small bowl and mix a little dish detergent with some warm water in it. Use not more water than necessary to cover the bracelet and just enough detergent to make the suds bubbly. Usually, a few drops will do. Let the bracelet soak for about fifteen minutes. Scrub the diamonds clean gently with an extra soft toothbrush. If you’re not comfortable cleaning the diamonds yourself – which we get – our goldsmiths can do it for you. When you purchased the diamonds at Goldiam, we clean them for free for the rest of your life.
