Why Does It Called Tennis Bracelet?
However, the true turning point for tennis bracelets came in the late 1970s and 1980s, thanks to the famous tennis player Chris Evert. At the U.S. Open in the late 70s, she wore a tennis bracelet during a match. Her wearing such an elegant and valuable bracelet while playing tennis broke many conventions. What drew even more attention, however, wasn’t the fact that she was wearing the bracelet during the match, but that it fell off her wrist while she was hitting the ball. She paused the match, requested the judges to wait, and bent down to retrieve the bracelet. This moment, in which she combined elegance with sports, helped the tennis bracelet gain even more popularity, turning it into an accessory that could be worn not only in tennis tournaments but also casually in everyday life, even to the market. Long before the tennis match incident, in the 1920s, this bracelet was known as the "diamond line" bracelet. This name referred to its design, featuring a continuous line of sparkling stones. However, after Chris Evert's famous incident during her match, the bracelet began to be called the "tennis bracelet" and has been known by that name ever since.
Black Stone Tennis Marina Bracelets
The "diamond line" name mentioned earlier might be a bit misleading. As design ideas have evolved over time, tennis bracelets are no longer limited to just diamond lines. For example, we can look at the Black Stone Tennis Marina Bracelet designed by Eda Doğan. Instead of the traditional white sparkling stones, this design features a line of black stones. This offers a striking alternative for women who love to wear jewelry in different colors, as well as for those who prefer a piece that will match with any outfit, adding a unique touch to their collection. It’s a beautiful example of how tennis bracelets have adapted to a variety of tastes and styles.
Elegant Contemporary Tennis Bracelets
When discussing different designs, it would be a mistake not to mention this unique tennis bracelet design. The Elegant Contemporary Tennis Bracelet is a piece that appeals to many, effortlessly fitting a wide range of wrist sizes. How? When designing this bracelet, Eda Doğan chose an adjustable fastening mechanism instead of the traditional clasp. This allows the bracelet to stay securely on your wrist, while also offering the flexibility to adjust it according to your wrist size. You can choose to wear it tightly for a more fitted look, or leave it looser for a more relaxed style.
Embellished Tennis Bracelets
This design, compared to the others we've discussed, is a bit bolder and more attention-grabbing. The Embellished Tennis Bracelet in its thicker form can be worn both during casual outings like a shopping date with friends, as well as at special events. Of course, you're free to wear and pair anything however you like, but pieces with a thicker design tend to lean more toward a bold, statement-making look.

Whether it’s a glamorous evening or a chic get-together, this bracelet adds just the right amount of showiness.
