The tennis bracelet: a line of light on the wrist
A continuous row of stones set side by side: that is the principle of the tennis bracelet. It owes its name to the tennis players who wore them on the courts, until the day one of them broke off in the middle of a match and interrupted the game. Since then, this piece of jewelry has become a classic, appreciated for its regularity and constant shine.
What sets it apart from other bracelets
Unlike a charm bracelet or a bangle, the entire design here rests on repetition. Each stone catches the light at the slightest movement of the wrist, which gives a sparkling effect even with a delicate model. It needs neither a pendant nor additional ornamentation to stand on its own.
Narrower or wider ?
- The delicate model slips into a stack and layers effortlessly.
- The wider model takes the place of the main piece of jewelry and is best worn alone.
- The color of the stones changes the mood: light stones for a clean shine, deeper hues for a touch of color.
For which occasions?
It is one of the few bracelets that goes from the office to an evening out without changing its style. With a shirt or a fine sweater, it remains discreet. With a cocktail dress or a party outfit, it brings the sparkling touch that was missing. It is also very suitable as a gift: understated in its form, it appeals to almost everyone.
Wearing it in a stack
For a very dressed-up wrist, pair it with a bangle or a link bracelet: the structure of the metal highlights the shine of the stones. Keep one simple rule: only one very sparkling bracelet per wrist, with the rest being understated. The tennis bracelet can also be worn with a watch, on the same wrist or the other.
Steel that retains its shine
The wrist is exposed to friction, hand washing, and perspiration. Our tennis bracelets are made of stainless steel 316L, a robust and hypoallergenic steel that withstands daily exposure to water. They are available in a gold finish or a silver finish. To maintain the stones, a soft cloth and a little soapy water are enough, followed by careful drying.
Earrings to pair with it
The tennis bracelet already makes the look shine: therefore, pair it with studs or small hoop earringsin the same finish to maintain a balanced look. Discover the full selection in our collection of women's bracelets.
