Variation to the theme 'tennis bracelet'
Normally, a tennis bracelet is an in-line diamond bracelet or a bracelet that features a symmetrical pattern of diamonds. Tennis bracelets have existed much longer than the term used for them. In 1987, Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player, 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 ignited a huge jewellery trend. Tennis bracelets continued to be worn by various tennis stars like Serena Williams, Gabriela Sabatini, and Diana Kerrison. Before this, they were just called rivière or inline bracelets.
