Tennis Bracelet

ten·​nis brace·​let | ˈte-nəs brā-slət

noun

A bracelet made up of individually set gemstones of uniform size and color, linked together like chain, making the bracelet somewhat flexible

A tennis bracelet is a type of narrow bracelet that is made of small, individually set gemstones that are all the same size and color. The resulting bracelet is flexible due to the chain inside, and shines brightly. The term was coined by Chris Evert, a professional tennis player between 1972-1989. After the clasp on her bracelet broke during a match, Evert turned to a new type of bracelet made with a flexible metal chain that could not snap loose like a traditional bracelet. Today, tennis bracelets are popular with more than just athletes, offering a durable alternative for anyone who is active through recreation or professionally.
