What is a tennis bracelet?

A tennis bracelet is a sleek, symmetrical line of diamonds or gemstones set in precious metal. Its name became famous during the 1987 U.S. Open when tennis star Chris Evert’s diamond bracelet broke mid-match, prompting her to pause the game to retrieve it. Since then, this elegant accessory has been known as the “tennis bracelet.”
