History

The so-called 'tennis' river bracelet seems to have been part of the jewelry repertoire since the 1920s. It was in the 1970s that it really took off, notably under the influence of Chris Evert, the third most successful tennis player of all time. She used to wear her bracelet during different matches until she lost it on the field and asked to suspend the match to find it. An event that will mark the spirits and give this type of bracelet its definitive name: 'tennis' bracelet.

This bracelet is also very influenced by disco, rhinestones and glitter. Fashion was about casual outfits but embellished with diamonds. A contrast aimed at democratizing jewelry. This is also a phenomenon that Elsa Peretti, creator, seized on for Tiffany & Co in the 1970s, notably with the 'Diamonds by the Yard' collection. Once again in 2020, the jewelry house offers more than 11 different models of this type of diamond bracelet, always called 'tennis' bracelet.
