Tennis Bracelet

What is a tennis bracelet, and how did it get its name?

A tennis bracelet is a flexible wrist accessory featuring a continuous, symmetrical line of diamonds or gemstones set in precious metal. Originally known as an “eternity bracelet”, it was coined as a diamond tennis bracelet NZ following a U.S. Open match. 

Star tennis player Chris Evert paused her match to search for her broken diamond bracelet, and the media soon picked up the name “tennis bracelet” when referring to the incident. The name stuck, and jewellery stores began selling the design style under the new name. These continuous pieces are now known as the best tennis bracelets for women. 

What gemstones are commonly used in tennis bracelets?

Common gemstones used in tennis bracelets include diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and moissanite. Each is revered for different reasons, which include: 

• Diamonds: A diamond tennis bracelet is the most classic and popular choice for its timeless appeal. They’re incredibly durable and offer a stunning sparkle 
• Sapphires: Another durable stone, a sapphire tennis bracelet is a coveted colour alternative to white diamonds. Pink, blue, yellow, and green sapphires are popular choices 
• Rubies: A ruby tennis bracelet is prized for its vivid red colour, and the underlying meaning of passion and love it holds 
• Emerald: An emerald tennis bracelet creates a lush, green piece, but their delicate nature means they require more care 
• Moissanite: A popular diamond alternative, a moissanite tennis bracelet brings its own unique fiery sparkle. They’re a more affordable tennis bracelet NZ alternative 

How should I care for my tennis bracelet?

Though our durable tennis bracelets are crafted from high-quality materials, simple self-care tips will help them retain their shine. Using warm water and a non-abrasive, gentle soap can help remove any dirt that may accumulate over time. A high-quality jewellery polishing cloth can help restore the shine to your piece, and you can use it to gently buff the stones and metalwork. 

Once you take off your tennis bracelet, place it in a safe storage case to help prevent any damage. The premium storage box your piece arrived in is ideal, but our luxurious jewellery box collection can stylishly hold multiple pieces. It can be used for both at-home storage and travel, allowing you to move your jewellery with peace of mind. 

Can I wear a tennis bracelet daily?

You can wear a tennis bracelet daily, as its elegant design seamlessly integrates into both casual and elevated looks. Include it in a stacked wrist look or wear it solo to let it stand out as a subtle statement. Their durability makes them an optimal daily piece, though care should be taken when engaging in strenuous exercise. 

For durable jewellery options you can wear daily, our waterproof collection is coveted for its high quality. With tarnish-resistant and water-resistant options, you can wear your pieces in the water or expose them to sweat within your day-to-day life. 

What occasions are best suited for a tennis bracelet?

A tennis bracelet suits a variety of occasions, from casual hangouts to formal events, providing the perfect reason to add one to your stack. When celebrating a birthday or special event, a tennis bracelet gift is a beautiful option to commemorate your loved ones. 

For a luxurious gifting experience, our Individual Gift Wrapping adds the perfect finishing touch to your present. Their custom tennis bracelet will arrive in a premium storage box, along with a high-quality jewellery polishing cloth and an eco-friendly make-up bag. 

How do I style a tennis bracelet with other jewellery?

You can style a tennis bracelet with other jewellery options in a variety of ways, leaning into your aesthetic preferences in the process. For a minimalist look, pair your delicate tennis bracelet with a simple chain bracelet to create depth without overwhelming your jewellery stack. 

When exploring bolder trends, a statement tennis bracelet pairs stunningly with a stacked selection of bangle bracelets. Each of these standout pieces adds a dimension to your wrist options, creating an expressive look. We recommend stacking an uneven number of pieces and letting them fall effortlessly.
