A Serve of History: How It Got Its Name
The story begins not in a jewelry boutique, but at the 1987 US Open. Tennis champion Chris Evert was famous for wearing a delicate, diamond line bracelet during her matches. During one particularly intense game, the bracelet’s clasp broke and it flew off her wrist, causing her to stop play and request officials to help her "find my tennis bracelet." The name stuck, and a legend was born. Today, while the original was diamonds set in platinum, the sterling silver tennis bracelet offers the same iconic, continuous sparkle in a much more accessible and contemporary package.
