The Tennis Bracelet: Wimbledon's Most Elegant Legacy

With Wimbledon just around the corner, there's no better moment to celebrate one of jewellery's most enduring classics – the tennis bracelet. This elegant strand of diamonds has graced wrists for decades, but its sporting moniker comes from a rather memorable court-side incident.

Back in 1987, tennis champion Chris Evert was mid-match when her diamond bracelet snapped and went flying. She famously asked officials to halt play whilst she searched for her precious piece – and just like that, the "tennis bracelet" earned its name. What was once simply called an "eternity bracelet" suddenly had a story that captured the world's imagination.

The beauty of a tennis bracelet lies in its understated sophistication. It's the sort of piece that works just as well with a crisp white shirt as it does with evening wear – effortlessly elegant without ever trying too hard. There's something wonderfully British about that sort of quiet confidence, don't you think?

At Harmony Jewels, we've curated a collection that honours this timeless design whilst offering something for every taste:
