Where Does The Name Tennis Bracelet Come From

Did you ever think to yourself where the name tennis bracelets came from, ok here is your answer.



According to Diamondbug it is called a tennis bracelet because in 1987, Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player and the winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, was playing in the U.S. Open. She was wearing an elegant, light in-line diamond bracelet, which accidentally broke and the match was interrupted to allow Chris to recover her precious diamonds. The ‘tennis bracelet’ incident sparked a new name for the item and sparked a huge jewelry trend.
