A tennis bracelet is a slim, flexible bracelet made of a continuous row of identical sparkling stones, worn daily and for occasions. To choose one, consider the right width for your wrist, a comfortable size (wrist circumference + 1 to 1.5 cm), and the quality of the clasp.
Why Is It Called a Tennis Bracelet?
The name became popular in the 1980s after a famous tennis player's bracelet came loose during a match and play stopped while it was found. Since then, "tennis bracelet" has been the name for this slim single-row design.
How to Choose a Tennis Bracelet
- Width: slim (2 to 3 mm) is delicate and everyday, while wider (4 mm and up) sparkles more and suits occasions.
- Size: measure your wrist and add 1 to 1.5 cm, as a tennis bracelet is worn close to the wrist.
- Clasp: choose a strong clasp, ideally with an extra safety lock.
- Metal: 925 silver gives an elegant white sparkle that lasts with care.
How to Style It
- With a watch: wear it on the same wrist next to a silver watch.
- Alone: enough for a refined everyday look.
- Layered: two slim tennis bracelets together, or with a delicate chain bracelet.
- For occasions: with a silver set of the same sparkle.
Caring for Your Tennis Bracelet
- Take it off before showering and exercise.
- Clean it with a soft brush, warm water and mild soap, without long soaking.
- Store it laid flat in its box so it doesn't tangle.
- Check the clasp from time to time.
