The Tennis Bracelet: What It Is, Which Width to Choose and How to Find Your Size
A tennis bracelet is a continuous line of same-size stones set side by side all the way around. It is simple, sparkles from every angle, and works for every day and for evenings.
Where does the name come from?
The well-known story is about former tennis player Chris Evert, whose bracelet fell off during a match. She asked to pause play so she could find it, and the style has been called the tennis bracelet ever since.
Which width to choose
- 2 mm: delicate and classic, for everyday wear and for pairing with a watch. For example, the 2 mm silver tennis bracelet.
- 2.5 mm: the sweet spot, more presence while staying elegant. For example, the 2.5 mm silver tennis bracelet.
- 3 mm and up: a statement bracelet for events, or when you want the bracelet to be the main piece.
Other styles
- Baguette: narrow rectangular stones for a modern, luxurious look, as in the baguette silver tennis bracelet.
- Colored or black stones: add character and suit men too, like the black tennis bracelet.
How to find your size
Measure your wrist with a soft tape or a string, just above the wrist bone, and add about 1 to 1.5 cm. A tennis bracelet should move a little on the wrist, not sit tight like a watch. Our tennis bracelets come in several lengths, and the length is listed on each product page.
What to check in the clasp
On a tennis bracelet the clasp matters as much as the stones. A box clasp with an extra safety latch keeps the bracelet on even if it catches on something. Check now and then that it closes with a clear click.
What to wear it with
With a watch, with a fine chain bracelet, or with a tennis ring in the same style. You will find that pairing in the Classic Tennis set, with 10% off the full set.
