The history of the tennis bracelet
The tennis model can also be described as a kind of diamond eternity: a chain of precious stones that has neither beginning nor end. It is precisely from this concept that its original name, Eternity Bracelet, takes shape. Born as a luxury accessory and made in white gold and diamonds, it was the tennis player Chris Evert who made it famous during a tennis Open match. On live TV, Evert stopped the match because her Eternity bracelet broke. From that episode, the bracelet became associated with tennis and its popularity grew quickly, to the point of changing its name to the more practical Tennis Bracelet.
How to evaluate a tennis bracelet
The fundamental feature of a tennis bracelet is undoubtedly its flexibility, that is, the bend it takes when dropped between our hands. Obviously, the more uniform its bend, the more we are facing a high-quality bracelet.The gems
Secondly, it is important to evaluate the gems that make up this bracelet reminiscent of an eternity. Diamonds are the most classic and meaningful choice, but there are also tennis bracelets on the market with black diamonds (of very high class) and precious stones such as topaz, sapphires, and zircons. The key point is the uniformity of colour in the gems that compose it: the shade must be the same all around the bracelet’s circumference, so as not to lose, precisely, its sense of eternity.The clasp
A sometimes underestimated component, but definitely important for the quality of the bracelet, the clasp of a well-made tennis bracelet must be hidden. Visible clasps would spoil the sense of continuity of the bracelet.The metal
Finally, it is important to choose the right material to best enhance us. White gold is preferred, as it pairs well with diamonds, but tennis bracelets can also be found in yellow gold, rose gold, burnished gold, or silver, on which zircons rather than diamonds are usually set. Obviously, the materials used must be nickel free!Buying advice
A valuable tip is to carefully set a budget. Obviously, it is wise to consider the great value of gold and precious stones, especially diamonds. A tennis bracelet of excellent craftsmanship, created with very high-value materials, will have a decidedly higher price than a similar one made with less precious materials. In short: carefully evaluate what you are looking for and do not hesitate to invest in a quality accessory!

There are obviously many high jewellery brands offering tennis bracelets, among which Damiani undoubtedly stands out. However, I want to recommend you consider the models created by Ferro Gioielli, with the great quality of materials and craftsmanship that you can only find in trusted jewellers.

Its simplicity makes it harmonious with every outfit, making even a sporty look elegant and classy.
