Diamond 4 Prong Tennis BraceletFor a classy and very elegant accessory that matches outfits from your casual daytime outfit to your dressy evening wear, you can’t go past wearing a gorgeous diamond tennis bracelet.

Your lady will certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness when you present her with this beautifully elegant Diamond Tennis Bracelet (10 cttw, I-J Color, I1-I2 Clarity that drapes nicely over the wrist.

This bracelet is made from 10 karat gold and showcases a line of 39 round diamonds (10 cttw). The 7-inch bracelet fastens with a traditional tongue-in-groove clasp. And depending on your ladies taste in color, you can choose between white or yellow gold.

So how did the inline diamond bracelet get the name of a Tennis Bracelet.

Well it goes back to the time in 1987  when Chris Evert  lost her bracelet when playing a match.  She had officials stop the match while she looked for it. Chris Evert was well known for her inline diamond bracelets.

So it was this incident that resulted in the thin, inline diamond bracelet being known as the Tennis Bracelet.  This incident also started a fashion trend.

I can just picture myself sporting a tennis bracelet made from individual diamonds in a square setting, which are strung together to form an inline bracelet held together by a clasp. 

But I will probably have to settle for a ‘tennis style’ bracelet which is a somewhat cheaper version of the classic tennis bracelet. The cheaper versions are made from different sized stones as against the matching diamonds used in the classic bracelet.

Now one thing you are going to want on your Tennis bracelet is a well constructed safety latch. You don’t want to repeat Chris Evert’s experience.

A typical tennis bracelet generally has a metal latch that fastens securely with a hook.  Now we all know that with constant wear a clasp becomes less reliable over time.  This has caused designers to put a secondary safety measure on the tennis bracelet.  These are commonly chains and figure eights.

If your bracelet has the additional chain safety latch, it will be connected from a stud on one side of the main clasp to the other side.  This means that if your main clasp fails the chain should keep the bracelet intact until you can get it to a repairman.

If your bracelet has the figure eight safety latch it will have a small double loop of metal and one loop will snap over a small post on one side of the main clasp and the other loop will snap over a matching post on the other side of the clasp.  This means that if you clasp fails, the figure eight loops keep it from falling off your wrist.
