Tennis Bracelets with Diamonds

The unusually named diamond tennis bracelets came about following an accident in 1987 when Chris Evert was playing professional tennis and the clasp of her diamond bracelet broke. This was an expensive string of individually set diamonds, so quite naturally Miss Evert asked the umpire to stop the match until the bracelet could be found. Hence any bracelets which now feature an inline array of diamonds are called tennis bracelets.

These diamond bracelets are very fashionable nowadays and particularly attractive because they are very sparkly and lustrous due to the way they are set and strung together. They are easy items of diamond jewellery to wear because the individual diamond settings allow them to move comfortably on the wrist. When buying a diamond tennis bracelet make sure it does not fit too loosely or it will become pulled and snagged. If it is too tight it might chafe the skin and become stretched to the point of breaking. If you can pass one finger between the bracelet and the wrist this is an ideal fit.

The square settings are strung into a bracelet held together by a safety latch which must be well constructed. The diamond tennis bracelets sold by The Diamond Store.co.uk have a spring metal latch made of quality jewellery metal which allows it to latch securely with a hook. To ensure that wear and tear does not weaken this mechanism, there is a safety chain which acts as secondary security measure. The chain safety latch connects via a small stud to the main clasp. So if it fails and springs open the chain will stop it falling off and being lost.
